Does anyone know how to make labels for glass bottles to where the ink on the label won't bleed and also has a glossy finish to it?

No idea, but bumping for interest.
Print label onto Photo Paper w/ High Gloss
Glue Paper to bottle
Profit.

Sure. Works for Corona when they make bottles. Why didn't I think of that.
In all seriousness though, I was thinking of printing on to glossy photo paper and using heat to transfer the design to a glass bottle, just like making a pcb, but I wonder what kind of special ink I would need to print with.
Maybe just silkscreen to the bottle instead? Maybe treat the area with glass etching acid first?
Not exactly what you're asking, but print on sticker paper, cover it with book film or whatever that transparent stuff with glue on the other side is called. Cut after that.
The labels on your pic look like professionally made vinyl stickers.

Starters font use water based inks.

When I was wee, we called it stickyback plastic. No doubt it has a proper name though.
Second waterproof your paper

Silkscreen is how id approximate it, etch/white/color sounds solid but keep in mind you have the option for translucents in your designs too.
Seems like coronas are powercoated or something serious like that. Gotta figure the label is put on right after the bottle is formed so it wouldnt be inconvenient to melt that shit on while its hot with some clever masking process
Pic related those labels look great after presumably slumped with high heat
I looked into it and came across some dirty cheap printers on ebay, but threw in the towel and paid Vistaprint.

Who the fuck needs a PREshave oil? Just lather up and shave. Then hit it with some aqua velva you skirt yanking child.

Even better, just shave as soon as you get out of the shower and it's still wet. Haven't bought shaving cream in years.

kek, my dad actually formulated the lead/cadmium/heavy metal free white used in basically all glass enamels nowadays. At least the stuff thats worth a shit and can stand up to high temp sterilization.

But your not going to share it with us... Your dad didn't invent shit.

Even better, stop shaving and trying to look like a tiny baby boy man.
