Usually ex-PS users need to un-learn their PS workflow. Are you using any of your old PS files? They can cause problems in Gimp, usually graphics are ok but any text will be flattened (no longer editable)
What size is the label and what ppi is it ? That affects quality. You do not actually need transparency for printing. White works, there is no white printer ink but you can use a transparent layer if you want.
There are various ways and copy-paste is not the best way. Again you might be losing the text property doing that. A Gimp text layer is one with the T in it.
One way is save the label content as a Gimp .xcf All the layers are retained then open that File -> Open as layers in the label template.
If I was doing this I would probably drag-n-drop from content image into template image. Use a layer group for the content something like this:
