Machine direction oriented film for labels

A machine direction oriented multilayer film suitable for labels comprising a core layer (C) and two outer layers (O-1, O-2) sandwiching the core layer, wherein

• (i) the core layer (C) comprises a bimodal polyethylene polymer comprising a lower molecular weight component and a higher molecular weight component, which is produced by utilizing a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, with a density between 926 kg/m3 to 950 kg/m3 according to ISO 1183, (method A), wherein the bimodal polymer contains an ethylene/1-butene/C6-C12-alpha-olefin terpolymer and 1-butene in amount of 0.1 to 3.0 mol % and C6-C12-alpha-olefin in amount of 0.2 to 4.0 mol % in relation to the bimodal polymer, and
• (ii) the two outer layers comprising unimodal HDPE with a density of more than 940 kg/m3 up to 970 kg/m3.
