An aqueous coating material for synthetic papers includes 26 wt % to 75 wt % of an acrylic emulsion, 2 wt % to 10 wt % of hollow latex microspheres and 26 wt % to 70 wt % of an inorganic ink-absorbing material. Each of the hollow latex microspheres has a particle size between 500 nm and 1100 nm, and includes a hollow core, a buffering layer covering the hollow core, and a shell covering the buffering layer. The aqueous coating material can be applied onto a surface of a synthetic paper substrate and formed into a surface coating layer.

The adhesive composition comprising emulsion polymers and microspheres and articles made therefrom are provided. The adhesive is particularly suitable for packages for consumer products that provide sufficient strength and thermal insulation while reducing the overall basis weight of the substrates.
