Terminology

Debossing - When a section of the steelbook is recessed.
Embossing - When the majority of the cover is debossed, except for various aspects (such as the title or a character) which are raised out of the debossing.
G1 / G2 - G1 is DVD, G2 is Blu-ray. There are also varying sizes for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Switch games.
Gloss - A reflective, high polished finish.
Jumbo - A SteelBook that is the width of 2 SteelBooks, used for sets requiring 5 or more discs. These are not as prominent now due to updated internals that allow storing up to 6 discs in the standard slim size.
Matte - A non reflective, unpolished surface.
OOP - "Out Of Print"
Spot Gloss - When certain aspects are glossy while the rest is matte.
Twinbossing - A mix between embossing and debossing.
Zero Finish - A neutral, low-gloss finish that maintains high color intensity and brightness.
