Gutters
When a game model is textured using a single texture sheet, the texture will have typically have UV'd areas (UV shells) and blank areas between them (gutters).
The width of the gutter you need depends upon the game engine used, how large the texture is, the texture filtering type, and the mip map mode. See EdgePadding.
