Submission stickers ?

What kind of stickers do you guys use on the back of your cards when submitting ? Does PSA remove these stickers before grading ?
The reason I ask is, I use a very small white label type of sticker, I had to try to remove one and found it very difficult, So I thought if PSA had to remove these stickers before grading there may be some kind of damage to the card. In submission guidelines it says to use some sort of removable sticker, but I always just thought that meant a peel off type of sticker not one that could be removed after you put it on.

There are two types of label stock used for stickers, nonremovable and removable. The latter leaves no residue when it is removed. These are often used for name tags so that people's clothing is not ruined.
I use any label I have, since I understand PSA does not reuse the CardSaver anyway.
On the other hand, can the grader tell anything about who is submitting by the info on the label? If they remove them maybe this is the reason.

I have written a program that generates labels for use with PSA submissions. These are the labels with the submission number and line number that are attached to the back of the card savers. The labels are printed on standard sheets of Inkjet address labels. For convenience I used Avery label numbers. The program is written in Windows Script Host (WSH). The program basically starts Microsoft Word., asks a few questions about type of label, starting label position, (for partial label sheets), submission account number and line numbers from the submission form. The program then sets the page margins and draws the labels. The program only supports one sheet of labels at a time. For more labels run the program again and change the starting line number. Program does not initiate printing. If you don’t like what you see just close Word and start over. Download the program from the link. The program name is PSALabels.vbs. If your system will not allow a download of a .vbs file then download the file PSALabels.txt. Rename the PSALabels.txt file to PSALabels.vbs. Run the program by double clicking on the icon or file name. To see how it all works just accept the defaults when you first run the program. You may have to maximize Word to see the output. Also print on plain paper to check for alignment. I have tried the program under Win98SE and XP using Office 97, Office2000 and Office2003. As far as copyright: There ain’t no copyright. Do whatever you want to with the program or code.

To download the program, right click on the program link and select “Save Target As”. When the dialog box appears, select the location to download the program to. Important!: On my system the download renamed PSALabel.vbs to PSALabel.mpeg. Before you do the download, change the name back to PSALabel.vbs.
