wrap a label around a pot

[drslim2]

What is the best method or plugin in order to wrap a label (made in Xara designer pro) around a vitamin pot to that it has a 3d effect - example of effect trying to achieve is attached?
I tried using the mould tool but cannot get it looking realistic.

Mould tool really is the way to go. Just takes some practice.
See this tutorial here: http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook15/page_4.htm

Here's a rough example of using the Mould tool and the clipview to achieve what you want. hope it helps.

Look in the plugin list for AV Bro Page Curl. They have tutorials on their web page, too.
Expression 3.3 has bitmap and vector warp capability, and is free from Microsoft.
Of course, the Mold tool is good and has its own capabilities.

Thanks guys, so it's just practice, practice, practice. Now all I need is time..

Here is a guide that might help in the positioning/molding of the label... You can just put it on a locked underlying layer and apply the labeling over it. Then, just simple-resize the label to fit your particular bottle. (assuming a similar perspective, of course)

A little perspective. You can combine a circle and line and drag the circle towards the line to get perspective.

Peter's idea from the past.
