Do non-food contact labels and film overwrap have to be covered when stored?

Good Day, At our facility we produce bottle water and soda/pop. Does labels and film overwrap have to be covered when stored? It is not on a food contact surface. I know it is a good to do but is this a SQF requirement.
Are Ziploc or other non-sterile bags OK for component-contact or product-contact?
Why do you have a food safety culture plan?

You've posted in BRCGS rather than SQF. Are you SQF certified? If you're a bottler, and BRCGS you'd also be certified to the food not the packaging standard.
If you're BRCGS, no that doesn't need covering for food safety reasons but it's good practice. Just check on the definition of "primary" packaging that they have in the standard though as it goes a long way beyond product contact. That doesn't impact you here in my opinion but may in other areas of the standard like supplier approval, trace etc.
