Do I need to peel the paper off the RAM stick to use it?

Pretty self explanatory. Was gifted a ram upgrade, wasn't sure if I need to peel off the label to use it. Figure better safe than sorry.
 
If you're referring to the little white sticker on the side, then no, it can stay on there. If it's some kind of packaging that covers the gold pins on the long end, then yes, remove that before inserting it into your motherboard.
