Why GUUG is the go-to copy shop in Rome Prati

When you're looking for a copy shop near you in Rome Prati, you want to be sure you'll find a serious place: fair prices, deadlines kept, someone who understands what you need without you having to say it three times. GUUG has been at Via di Porta Castello 29 since 2005. Over 600 customers have left us a Google review: the average is 4.9 stars. That's no accident.

Over the years we've learned that people who walk in here are almost always in a hurry. Students who have to hand in their thesis tomorrow morning, lawyers with a hearing at 11, conference organisers who left the badges back at the hotel. We work the way you work behind a serious counter: printer on, file open, problem solved. Simple photocopies and prints are ready in 5 minutes, thermal and spiral bindings in another 5, the hardbound thesis with gold or silver foil printing — our signature product — in 2 hours, guaranteed.

We're right in the historic centre, yet our prices are those of a neighbourhood copy shop. Pay however you prefer: cash, card, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay. If you're passing through Rome for tourism or work and need to print something, we don't ask you for anything extra: no Italian IBAN, no Italian phone number. Come with the file, leave with the print.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly are you?
Via di Porta Castello 29, 00193 Rome, in the Prati district. We're 200 metres from St. Peter's Square, a 5-minute walk from Castel Sant'Angelo and from Ottaviano metro (line A). The shop is at street level, blue "GUUG Copisteria" sign, number 29.
Do I need an appointment to come?
No. Come whenever you like during opening hours (Monday-Friday 9-19). Standard photocopies and prints are ready while you wait, in 5 minutes. Only for complex orders (hardbound thesis, large print runs, custom graphic work) do we recommend sending the file by email first so we can plan the timing better.
Which payment methods do you accept?
All of them: cash, debit card, credit cards, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay. There's no minimum amount to pay by card. If you're coming from abroad you need neither an Italian IBAN nor an Italian phone number to pay in the shop.
Can I come without a file? What do I bring to print?
Yes. Bring a USB stick and we copy the file directly. Alternatively you can send the print from your phone via WhatsApp or email to stampa@guug.it even while you're walking over: by the time you arrive it's already ready on the counter.
Are you open on Saturday or Sunday?
No, on Saturday and Sunday we're closed. We work Monday to Friday from 9 to 19, with no lunch break. For urgent weekend jobs, email us on Friday afternoon: we'll tell you whether we can prepare them before closing or at reopening on Monday morning.
How quickly can I pick up a hardbound thesis?
The hardcover with gold or silver foil printing (title on the cover and on the spine) is ready in 2 hours. Send the PDF by mid-morning, pick it up in the afternoon. Guaranteed turnaround, not an estimate. For thermal binding of the thesis, 5 minutes is enough if you come to the shop with the file.
Do you ship throughout Italy?
Yes, but only for the "thesis with foil hardcover" product, which can be ordered from our online shop (shop.guug.it). Thermal binding requires pickup at the shop. Other prints (flyers, cards, brochures) we assess case by case: write to us at stampa@guug.it.
