WHAT
IS SCRAPBOOK EMBOSSING?
Often
referred to as scrapbook embossing, album embossing, stamping or engraving, technically the process
is called "foil hotstamping" or "debossing". An embossing process
raises the affected area, while a hotstamping process lowers ("debosses")
the affected area.
Basically, a hotstamping
process uses a combination of pressure and heat to deboss the item and adhere a metallic
or pigmented foil to the affected area. Originally, gold leaf was used but today's
polymer-based materials enable greater control and more color variety. By the way,
hot stamping without foil is called "blind debossing".
Regardless of what
you call the process, there are basically two ways to stamp photo albums and scrapbooks:
1.) Small, relatively
low-cost portable tabletop machines, hand or power operated.
2.) Industrial-scale
equipment with greater capabilities and higher quality results.
