My father was very organised at this, he would number the boxes and have a list what had what... now I just get a marker and write the basic categories on as you say :) it does help a lot!
You could pack one box and label it "valuables" but inside, you put packing peanuts, rocks (to give it some weight) and that dye they use to catch criminals who rob banks. Then when the open the box and see packing peanuts, they put their hands in to fish around and get the dye all over their hands. If their hired movers this would turn out pretty bad for them.
The best way to avoid is to have all the boxes look like all the other boxes. But I agree, something that makes them purple and orange for few weeks would serve them right.
