While this is a requirement on all cut sheet labels with a film face stock, there is no standard procedure on paper face stocks. In most cases, removing a 1/16″ border from around the label is a good idea to lessen the chance of adhesive ooze. However, some printer manufacturers specify that no matrix be removed. When in doubt, consult the owner’s manual for the printer.
