low-tack
Peels off cleanly
Low-tack describes adhesives with weak sticking power, designed to hold temporarily without leaving residue or damaging surfaces.
Painter's tape, sticky notes, and repositionable labels are low-tack: Use low-tack tape so you don't pull off the paint.
The term contrasts with high-tack adhesives meant for permanent bonding.
