    Sounds like something that confused me about the text object at first -
when you increase it's thickness it moves it's 'back' face away from it's
front face (rather than moving both faces away from the centre) - depending
on how you've got things set up this could account for your engraved text
not getting any deeper - try translating the text further into the box.
