The SMD parts I get from Digi-Key and Mouser come in small plastic labeled bags. I just leave them in the bags and line up the bags in storage boxes. The labels have the value, working voltage and part number.
?
I save the bags and reuse them for parts from other vendors. I write the new value on the label.
?
The bags are lined up by value.

Good idea. I typically take one jar and mount all of the caps/resistors of that value on the board at one time, then move on to the next value. As a result, I never have more than one jar open at a time. Also, they hang on the wall on a board and I wouldn't be able to read their values if the jar is labeled. However, if you store them on a shelf, or have a way to store them "laying on their side", your approach is more bullet proof.

Hello Jack,
The only trouble with those labels is putting them on the
interchangeable lid. If it is possible for them to be swapped it *will*
happen. You are welcome to ask me how I know this. I recommend placing
the label on the jar.
