One way is to use a cylinder projection that wraps just once. In your texture, create the spiral as a tiled image. The left and right sides tile with one another, so you'll get a spiral on the surface. See attached mockup.

:applause: great idea~~ thanks EricChadwick, just one more question, i have already created the artwork as one piece in illustrator, i tried to tiled the image in photoshop by using the offset tool, it dose work, but it have a very obvious seam, suggestion on how to make seamless tile texture for a spiral wrap?

what does your image look like that you're getting such seaming? There shouldn't be any sort of seams if you're doing it correctly. could you post your UVs, your uncut image, and your tiled version?
