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
Thanks to Parapluie we are 40% ahead of last year.

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

The Battle of the Atlantic Place working group required an emblem and visual design to exemplify the exciting story and significance of the building. Parapluie developed an identity and materials for the project which were based on printing technologies of the Second World War era — but with a contemporary and dynamic look and feel.

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

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.
Get seen (and heard)
After spending a lot of time and money on producing your advertising materials or public announcements, you certainly do not want to neglect a well-thought-out plan for placing these in the most effective settings. Parapluie will work with all media outlets to create a holistic distribution plan that maximizes exposure and minimizes your budget expenditure.
No smears, blears, or tears — get your printing done right!
Parapluie was originally launched as a print production company in 2002. Since that time we have developed excellent relationships with trusted and talented print providers. Parapluie extends this value to you, allowing you to work with the best printer for the best cost.
