Insulin labeling by nursing

we use a common vial that is located in the Omnicell.
The nurses are pulling the insulin doses up in the medication room, returning to the Omnicell. However, the label printed on the Omnicell printer is too big- the nurses are complaining that the insulin syringe is covered with that label - making it unsafe for the insulin unit reading when in the room. How are your nurses handling the labeling ?
