Welcome to Parapluie, the home of reliable, quality, professional production services.
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. The custom-built system includes tools for curation, archiving, and exposition — all in double-HD resolution. more
I rely on Parapluie for their intelligent solutions, and they are a pleasure to work with.

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. Character illustrations: Marven Nelligan. more
Thanks to Parapluie we are 40% ahead of last year.

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. Artist's renderings of Battle of the Atlantic Place: Stantec. more
The final files printed perfectly, the binders were delivered on time and the clients were thrilled with the results.

The largest group of credit unions in Atlantic Canada required regional promotion of patronage programs, including creative development, copy, and materials. Parapluie's typographic concept works across multiple media: community communications materials, outdoor display, point-of-sale buttons, staff t-shirts, pull-up displays, electronic banners, credit union websites, and social media tools. more
The website interface is very intuitive and user-friendly. Well done!
