Please help. is there any other way to do this?
In my opinion you don't need to bend a mesh to do this. Just use a texture and use the geometry of your object. Avoid overlapping geometry and prevent z-fighting. If you use the texture as a bump map or as a displacement map you can control the indentation or relief (and will help you keep a low vetex count).
