Claim:
A clear polymeric label, comprising: a clear polymeric core layer; and a clear no-cavitated mask layer having a first side and second side, said second side forming a cohesive bond with a layer immediately adjacent to said second side, and said first side being suitable to be contacted with a water-based adhesive such that a cohesive bond can form between the first side of the mask layer and the adhesive; wherein the cohesive bond formed between the second side of the mask layer and the layer immediately adjacent to the second side of the mask layer is less than the cohesive bond between the first side of the mask layer and the adhesive; the layer immediately adjacent to the second side of the mask layer is said clear polymeric core layer; and said clear polymeric core layer consists of a propylene-containing polymer, optionally, one or more additives, and wherein said mask layer comprises poly(lactic acid).
