Using meshes on cubes

Im trying to make a crate in a game and I have 2 different meshes but if I texture the whole cube it just becomes one mesh. Can sombody please help me. I feel stupid for asking but Im new at this.
PLEASE help!
Thanks

no need to feel stupid for asking a question, but could you be a bit more specific about what is going on? also, it usually helps to put up the .blend so someone can have a look at it.

Hi. I think I understand what you’re asking. If I’m correct, go to:

Thanks Skottish, thats it exactly. I cant put anything up on .Blend because this is my cousins computer (because I dont have the internet :frowning: ) and its to hard to take things from my computer to his, and sorry for the crappy explenation of my problem.
