What it is and how to use it

Capacity is how much a container holds. Weight reduction is how much lighter the contents feel while you wear or carry it, so a bag with high weight reduction lets you carry more before you are overloaded.

Where it spawns: the loot tables

Picnic Basket is on 3 loot tables in the game files. Share is how much of a table's total weight this item takes, before your sandbox loot settings. Each container rolls its table several times, so a bigger share and more rolls both mean you see it more often.
