Item count or item uses?
If a crate holds 25 , thats it 25 items are in there,
take 1 from crate, 24 are left in crate
Factories produce crates with 10, 25, and 50 items in them.
I have yet to see 125 items pulled from 1 factory crate.
Now if the item has uses like food, power ups, or paint kits
it still only contains (take each out and count em up) 25 items
but each item has uses to it (varies by what it is of course)
the item count is listed behind the crates name
and when you examine it there are spots for
item count ( how many the crate actuallyhas in it)
and item uses ( how many 'charges' each individual item from crate will have)
and you can split a crate into smaller crates or items but you can not split an item's uses into seperate items

Ok, my terms were not correct. (I am at work & working on sleep deprived memory)
It is 25 items & 5 uses. So 125 uses total for the 25 items.
Thank You

Looks like you got it now. 
Just as a note... there are some weird sized crates too. For instance, Rocket Launchers come in crates of 7. Larger crates can also be split into smaller ones. So be careful but you are definately in the right direction.

Ok, I think I understand this.
If a crate said 25 items ( say of any food) & item count is 5... then there are 25 stacks of 5 = 125.....??? ( This would be for a new crate with nothing removed.)
I just don't want to be upset by my own stupidity if it 25 items. 
I know it is a nOOb question. I did a search & could not locate the answer.
