A label comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a water-based release coating applied to a first surface of the substrate, wherein the water-based release coating is substantially free of silicone, the water-based release coating having silicone in an amount of 5% weight based on a total weight of the water-based release coating, and wherein the water-based release coating further includes a starch, a defoamer, a cross-linker, a fluorochemical, a non-silicone release agent and a catalyst;
- and
- a microsphere adhesive applied to the second surface of the substrate, wherein the microsphere adhesive is repositionable and applied to the second surface in patches and with a coat weight of 9 gsm, wherein the starch from the water-based release coating ensures compatibility between the microsphere adhesive and the water-based release coating that form bonds between the microsphere adhesive and the starch.
