Are these the same as the AVERY 22820?

Our OL2685 labels layout the same as the Avery 22820 template. For a complete list of our products that line up with Avery templates, please review the list at the link below: https://www.onlinelabels.com/comparable/av-labels

In a prior question you responded that the OL2685 template. It looks like it also should line up with the Avery 22829 template--same size labels. It is the only similar label offered in my location that's similar/same to 22820. Is this correct?

Yes, this is the same size and layout as Avery's 22820 as well. You can find this information under Product Specifications on the product page, below the "Add to Cart" button. As well, you can check out our Brand-Name Label Cross-Reference List below to find comparable templates. https://www.onlinelabels.com/comparable

Is the OL2685WG waterproof? If not, we need a white background oval 2X3-1/3 waterproof for liquid filled plastic bottles.

The White Gloss Inkjet (WG) is not considered waterproof since this is a paper based material. However, we do offer the Weatherproof Gloss Inkjet (WI) which is a waterproof, polyester-based material. https://www.onlinelabels.com/materials/weatherproof-gloss-inkjet-labels

Is this a permanent adhesive label? We would be applying this to a synthetic wood material and need a permanent bonding label. Thanks

The Standard White Matte (WX) features a permanent adhesive that works well on most surfaces. We'd recommend trying samples of our Standard White Matte (WX) and Aggressive White Matte (AT) for testing with your synthetic wood surface.
