My experience using this exact method, although I tend to use parts boxes is:

  1. Number the bags (or sections in a parts box) in Chronological Order that you removed them, name each bag. You can even section name them for big projects, which makes this method scale well. e.g. 'Engine #1 Chassis hanger bolts'

  2. It doesn't really matter what you name most bags/sections: 'Flange Bolts' is not particularly specific but will usually be apparent when it comes at the correct time in your build order.

  3. This method allows for several bags of screws labelled '?????' as long as they are sufficiently separated in the Chronological Order.

This is a good tip. Often things can only be put back together in a specific order. So, having a reference to the order disassembled is helpful so that you can then work backwards through them when re-assembling.
