The "boundaries" around the labels that you see in Print Layout view
are called gridlines. They aren't printable; they're there just to
show you the edges of the cells of the table while you're editing.
When you switch to Print Preview, it shows only what will print, and
that doesn't include the gridlines.

You could use the Format > Borders & Shading dialog to turn on the
table's printable borders, and those would show in Print Preview. But
you don't really want the printer laying ink along the edges of the
labels, do you?

G'Day Kimba,

Anything you can see in Print preview (including any
type of border or frame) will print on your printer -
and that's not usually what you want.

I don't know how you are creating the labels, but any
(table) border or frame in the template will show
ONLY in Print Layout view.

Not true. Table gridlines are displayed in both Normal and Print Layout
view. Even if gridlines are turned off, "text boundaries," if enabled, will
be displayed in Print Layout view. Actual borders will be displayed in any
view.
