Welcome to Parapluie, the home of reliable, quality, professional production services.
Parapluie provided pre-press production services for the first 36–72 pages of information presented in every Atlantic Canadian telephone book. The project represented annual publication of 37 books of unique content in both of Canada's official national languages — without a single error in the eight-year duration of the project. Agency service: Cossette Atlantic. 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 was asked to create tournament materials that reflected the classic Canadian hockey game. This faux-vintage program features today's young players in aged photos on what appears to be a faded antique paper stock. more

Teens Now Talk is a magazine that features content that is created by teens. It is wild and fun; and though by its nature it breaks many visual design rules, Parapluie consistently presents the teens' work in a professional, published format that they can be proud of.

Always leave a positive impression
The sometimes arcane field of print production is often misunderstood, and is too often left in the hands of individuals who are not experts in the field. This leads to unwanted expenses due to added time and corrections during the printing process. Since reprints are very expensive, we recommend that you use our print production service — in which every print piece has crisp imagery, accurate colours, and is handled by an ink expert. We maintain a craftsperson's commitment to accurate and knowledgeable reproduction of materials in print.
Web site management
A small retainer fee can have a huge return on investment, especially if your company depends on its Web site to be up-to-date and accurate. Let Parapluie's Web maintenance team complete these changes for you in weekly, monthly, or quarterly plan packages. Our focus and expertise allows us to update your site with speed and accuracy, ensuring that its visitors are always greeted with a professional venue for doing business with you.
