How can I hold product from the infeed lanes?

Each lane is set to release a slug of 112 products. There is a merge of three infeed lanes to a trunk that feeds the palletizer. How do I hold the product on the two infeed lanes to insure that the products don't mix on the trunk line?

You can use the Merge Controller. See section 1.2 of the tutorial linked below.
