Tried the surface deformer technique which got pretty messy. In the end I just rotated the individual letters to sit on the container’s surface and threw them all into a volume builder. A little finicky, but I’m happy with the results.

I’ve got a project where I’ve got to extrude type along the surface of a mason jar. What’s the best way to have the type follow the contours of the jar, without running into too much deformation?

Thanks in advance!
