✦Grammar Breakdown
Ètuttobenetichettato
È (essere)
Third‑person singular present of the verb *essere*; used here as the copula linking the subject to its description.
tutto (pronoun)
Indefinite pronoun meaning “everything”; it is neuter singular, so the following adjective must agree in masculine singular.
ben vs bene
*Ben* is the truncated form of *bene* that appears before adjectives ending in –ato, –uto, –ito (e.g., ben etichettato, ben organizzato).
etichettato (past participle)
Past participle of *etichettare* ‘to label’; agrees in gender and number with the subject (masc. sing. → *etichettato*).

Yes, everything is well labeled.
✕Common Mistakes
È tutto bene etichettato.
Use *ben* before the past participle; *bene* would be ungrammatical here.
È tutta ben etichettata.
*Tutto* is neuter singular; *tutta* would only be correct if the subject were a feminine singular noun.
È tutto ben etichettati.
The participle must agree with the neuter singular subject *tutto*, so it stays masculine singular *etichettato*.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, the adverb *ben* is preferred before adjectives ending in -ato, -uto, -ito, while *bene* is used elsewhere (e.g., *bene fatto*). The phrase sounds neutral and works both in formal written reports and in casual spoken conversation. Remember that *tutto* is neuter; if you refer to a feminine plural group you would say *tutte ben etichettate*.
