Shippable Crate
This article is timeless and should be accurate for any version of the game.

| — In-game description |
The Shippable Crate is a shippable structure that typically contains 3 packed vehicles or structures of a given type.
Production
Shippable Crates can only be produced at the Mass Production Factory. The material cost will be 3 times the amount of one vehicle/structure, with a 10% discount, scaling up to 50% with each order (max of 5 crates).
Use
You can access its interface when on foot or in a logistics vehicle by pressing E when it is not packaged.
Packed Vehicle/Structure Storage
It contains 3 vehicles or shippable structures of the type produced by the Mass Production Factory order that was retrieved. Those will be in packed form and not directly accessible.
Orders of 85K-b “Falchion” uniquely produce Shippable Crates with 5 vehicles instead of 3.
Transport
As a shippable, it can be packaged with the "package" 
button in its menu. Once packaged, it can then be lifted by a Crane and placed on any Shipping Vehicle for transport. While on a vehicle you cannot interact with it. You will require another crane at your destination to lift it from the vehicle. To unpackage it simply press E.
Like every other player made structures, it can decay after a while if left on the ground.
Unlike some container types, Shippable Crates cannot be stacked on top of each other.
It can be stored in a stockpile at a Storage Depot, Seaport, or Storage Ship by depositing it on their loading area and pressing the Submit Loading Area Equipment 
button in their interface.
Unpacking
It can be unpacked to retrieve its content, but this can only be done when it is stored inside a Seaport, Storage Depot, or Storage Ship.
Open the building's menu with E and select the correct stockpile at the top right. Then select either the "Vehicle Crate" 
or "Structure Crate" 
section and right click the desired crate. In the context menu choose whether you want to unpack the crate to the public stockpile or a Reserve Stockpile. Once this is done the crate is destroyed and the structures/vehicles inside are transfered in the structures/vehicles section of the stockpile where they can be retrieved by pressing left click.
Trivia
- Prior to Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), all vehicles could be made in the Mass Production Factory
- This was changed so that only 'Base' vehicles could be produced, and 'variants' had to be modified in a Small Assembly Station (though this didn't apply to all vehicles, as some are 'facility-locked')
