Custom Branding

A typical Bloom book has prebuilt content slots in the front and back matter. A custom branding pack can fill these slots with text or graphics to create a consistent branding across a collection of books.

Standard branding slots include the following:

  • Front cover top
  • Front cover bottom
  • Credits page top
  • Credits page bottom
  • Title page bottom
  • Outside back cover top
  • Outside back cover bottom

In addition, a branding pack can declare:

  • Default copyright notice
  • Default license notice
  • Default license notes

Creating a custom branding pack is a paid service. If you think you need a custom Xmatter pack, contact the Bloom team at [email protected].

You can do a lot with a custom branding pack, there are limits: see What Bloom branding cannot do below.

What Bloom branding cannot do​

Making a branding pack in Bloom is like decorating a house: it’s easy, but there are limits. In contrast, making a custom Front/Back Matter pack is like moving walls or adding on new rooms. With a custom front/back matter pack (called an Xmatter pack), you can add new front and back matter pages and new branding slots. Custom Xmatter packs must be created by a Bloom developer.

Creating custom Xmatter packs is a paid service. If you think you need a custom Xmatter pack, contact the Bloom team at [email protected].
