Run Sub Flow activity set option > Run Tokens One at a Time

Load activity in Sub Process Flow is unnecessary

Unload activity Parameter for item: token.CartonMono.last or perhaps .first

I have added a delay of 1s to see it a bit better visually.

There aren't some labels necessary anymore. Please check it yourself.

Another option is to run only one token in the subflow and add a decision immediately after the Unload. In the decision condition, check if there are still any items in CartonMono using the logic token.CartonMono.subnodes.length > 0. As long as there are items to unload, the operator will unload them one by one. I have attached the file as an example.
