Use curved text, neon text, and engraved text effects
Add curved, neon, or engraved text elements to your products for decorative and specialty effects.
Updated April 28, 20265 min read
Chamevo includes specialty text types beyond standard text: curved text and neon text. You can also enable an engraving industry mode that applies an engraved look to all elements. Each creates a distinct visual effect that customers can interact with in the product customizer.
Before you start
- You have created a product with at least one view.
- You have access to the Product Builder (Chamevo > Products in your WordPress admin).
- For neon text, prepare a dark background image for the view — the glow effect is barely visible on light backgrounds.
Curved text
Curved text bends along a circular path. Use it for badge designs, circular logos, or arched labels.
Add curved text in the Product Builder
- Open your product in the Product Builder (Chamevo > Products).
- Click Add New Layer and select Curved Text.
- Enter your text content. Curved text supports a single line only — line breaks are removed automatically.
- Click Save View.
Curved text settings
Select a curved text element on the canvas to see its properties. The key curved text settings are:
| Setting | What it does | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Curve Radius | Controls how tight the curve is. Smaller values create a tighter curve. Default is 80. | Product Builder properties panel |
| Curvable | Controls whether customers can adjust the curve themselves. | Product Builder properties panel, or Print Profile > Custom Text Properties > Styles & Content > Curving |
