Embodiments of the present invention relate to multilayer films, labels, and packages. In one aspect, a multilayer film having at least one matte surface comprises (a) an outer layer comprising (i) 30 to 99.5 weight percent of a first low density polyethylene having a density of 0.919 g/cm<sup>3</sup> to 0.940 g/cm<sup>3</sup> and a melt index (I<sub>2</sub>) of 0.3 to 5 g/10 minutes, (ii) 0.1 to 20 weight percent of polymer particles having a core and a shell structure wherein the core comprises a first polymeric material having a first refractive index and the shell comprises a second polymeric material having a second refractive index that is different from the first refractive index, and (iii) optionally, up to 50 weight percent of a first polyethylene having a density of 0.925 g/cm<sup>3</sup> to 0.970 g/cm<sup>3</sup> and a melt index (I<sub>2</sub>) of 0.8 to 10 g/10 minutes, each based on the total weight of the outer layer; and (b) a second layer in adhering contact with the outer layer comprising (i) 1 to 80 weight percent of a second low density polyethylene having a density of 0.919 g/cm<sup>3</sup> to 0.940 g/cm<sup>3</sup> and a melt index (I<sub>2</sub>) of 0.3 to 5 g/10 minutes, and (ii) 20 to 99 weight percent of a second polyethylene having a density of 0.925 g/cm<sup>3</sup> to 0.970 g/cm<sup>3</sup> and a melt index (I<sub>2</sub>) of 0.8 to 10 g/10 minutes, each based on the total weight of the second layer; wherein the outer layer has a gloss of less than 50% as measured by ASTM D2457 at an angle of 45°. |
