ACORN – the key organization in Atlantic Canada for organic agriculture – asked Parapluie to build an education kit which would act as an efficient way to share knowledge with a growing community across the region. The large-format display and related materials are well-organized and tastefully extend the ACORN brand identity. more

The final files printed perfectly, the binders were delivered on time and the clients were thrilled with the results.

Codex Rare Books needed an online infrastructure that could present rare books with a depth and complexity unparalleled by any other resource. Parapluie built – and continues to maintain and expand ‐ a cohesive structural and automation system for the creation and hosting of a massive database.

We spend a lot of time on our clients' work. As a consequence we don't pay as much attention to this website as we should! Updates will continue — someday. If you are left with any questions in the meantime, please do get in touch.

Parapluie provided pre-press production services for Bell Aliant's Telephone Directory Introduction Pages — the first 36 to 72 pages of information presented in every Atlantic Canadian Aliant telephone book.

The project represented annual publication of 37 books of unique, regional content in both of Canada's official national languages.

Parapluie created a system capable of easily handling constant legal and operational changes, a major corporate merger, and multiple changes of DTP software, printing presses, and sheet sizes.

Parapluie improved the product readability, optimized the project workflow, reduced proofing interchanges, and streamlined print pipeline and communications systems to ensure minimal work for the printer with little-or-no chance of error.

Lastly, there was not a single error in the eight year duration of the project.
