That's not a lot of information to go on. What exactly is kept in the "label" and on what object is the "label". It would be helpful if you could send your model or if that is not possible for some reason, a sample model showing the area of concern. Sending a model is the the best way for us to help figure out what exactly it is you need. A description, alone, does not help us to know what is happening in the model itself.

Thanks.

You are very close, I think. I looked at each Decision Point, and I saw that a lot of them have two SendItem options used:

This would work fine, except none of the boxes have a Type label. There is a photo eye that is configured to set item type and color. However, because the block time is 2 seconds (and boxes do not block the photo eye for that long), that OnBlock code never fires:

So depending on what you want, you could reduce the Block Time, so that your boxes get a type, or you could just remove the second "Send Item" option, so that the Type is not needed.
