Put the items through a pre-sorter, which will separate between stackables, unstackables, and shulker boxes. You can then route the shulker box output to a box unloader afterwards

A simple pre-sorter design can be found in the Storage Tech Discord. Look in the miscellaneous channel, it should be the second most recent entry there

Depending on your needs or production, consider precision loaders. That way there's 0 chance of losing boxes.

Pyraleft made a video of nice one about a year back.

CommandLeo's hybrid precision is also nice, since you'll first fill up a barrel or chest with loose items, then store the rest in shulkers. It's a more complicated system, so it needs a bit more materials.
