A label is removable from an article under the action of a hot washing fluid, the label including an adhesive layer comprising a pressure sensitive adhesive material. The adhesive properties of the adhesive layer are reduced when the article is subjected to a hot washing liquid, so assisting the removal of the label from the article. The label comprises a backing layer which is a polymeric film. The pressure sensitive adhesive is a water-borne, permanent, pressure sensitive adhesive having a combination of polymer component and surfactant component which permit the label to be removed from an article within a period of 10 minutes using an aqueous wash at 80{C.
