Yes, you will probably loose the paper label.

I've  done this to MANY type 5 keyboards, some type 4 keyboards, a 
couple of  HP HIL keyboards (off of an Apollo 425 workstation) as well 
as several Northgate Omnikey keyboards too. I would imagine if your 
keyboard is a better quality one you should have nor problem, if your 
keyboard is cheap PC crap, you *might* have a problem.
