Abstract: The specification relates to a density adjustable label and a label laminate (8) for providing the same. Further, the specification concerns a combination of a label (1) and an item (100), as well as a method for manufacturing the label laminate (8). The label (1) comprises a face layer (2) and an adhesive layer (4). The face layer (2) comprises natural fibre based material. The adhesive layer (4) comprises pressure sensitive adhesive and at least one additive for adjusting total density of the label. The pressure sensitive adhesive comprises acrylic polymer(s). The additive comprises expandable particles, the label is detachable from a surface labelled at washing conditions having temperature in a range of 60-90° C. or above and the detached label is arranged to float on a washing liquid.

Abstract: A linerless thermal label web includes layers in the following order: a release layer, a thermal paper comprising a heat sensitive part, and an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer includes an adhesive deadening varnish at longitudinal edge areas of the linerless thermal web so as to reduce the tackiness of the adhesive layer in the longitudinal edge areas. A thermal label can be produced from the label web and the label web can be used for variable information printing applications.
