Here are some tips from 3DCADTips.com to take a look at. They involve text on surfaces.

Take a look at this tip!

Text On A Cylinder .
I suggest you make a surface offset from the OD of the cylinder the height you want the text. "Free login required"

Text around an axis, like on a tire?

This is done in the sketch mode by inserting text. You can then define a curve to align the text. Your curve should be an arc.

Text wrapped on a surface, like ?.
There's an unwrap command that will flatten the surface, project your text, then wrap it back up. This one is limited in the surfaces that it can unwrap.
