It is clever, yes, but also something that has been used in the shipping and logistics industry for decades. So more "standard" than "ingenious".

Ingenious means clever, and the fact that it's not a novelty doesn't make it any less ingenious.

They were ingenious when invented, and are still ingenious. I would still buy the inventor a beer today.
