1. What is hot foil stamping and blind debossing?
Hot Foil Stamping is the application of metallic foil on to a solid surface by application of a heated die onto the foil, making it adhere to the surface below the design of the die. The foil stamp is a permanent process.
Here is an example of a commemorative book with a corporate logo and text hot foil stamped in silver foil. We created a custom die to create this image.
Blind debossing at Bella Becho uses a similar process to hot foil stamping but does not involve the use of foils. Therefore, the hot die is pressed into the surface below the die, leaving a recess in the design of the die. The blind debossing process provides a clean and distinctive or subtle image
2. Foil Color Options
We use hot foil stamping in many places using custom dies and other techniques that personalize a book. We have numerous color foils available.
Most people work with gold and silver, but we have hot foil stamped many different types of colors. Here are a couple of projects stamped in black and blue respectfully.

"Thank you for rebinding my study bible. Your suggestion of adding my name under my grandmother's name was a great idea. I will be passing this bible on to my newborn grand baby! I hope she receives as much joy and light as I have. Bless you." Janice
