I usually buy bulk floppies, but this time I bought boxed DS/DD 5.25 floppies to make backups. It came with some stickers, one set to use as labels, and another set of smaller rectangular ones.

Can anyone tell me what these are for? Am I supposed to cover a hole or something?

You're correct, here:

Used for back-ups and such I guess.
