Is this one of those solutions looking for a problem?
If the compartments are clear, you can see the pieces through the box. Why
would you need to label each one.
Of course this assumes you don't use all of the pieces in more than one
compartment (in which case you may not remember in which compartment to re-sort
those elements). This is unusual, at least in my experience. Though my kids
often build from elements from just a couple of boxes (great models made
entirely of 1X2 plates for example).
