Create an AI file of one label, if you make the art board the size of the finished label then this will make the next step easier...
Create a second AI file (this will be your stepped file) and place the first file into this in the same way that you would place an image.
Duplicate the placed file across the stepped file with the required spacing and number of copies.
Print the stepped file.


Now, if you need to change the label, just change the individual (1 up) file and then update the links in the stepped file. Also, if you have multiple labels of the same size, then you can use the same stepped file and just link in the new labels.
