What we include in a standard case file

A well-made case file is recognizable by the way the judge opens it: a clear cover, consistent pagination, exhibits neatly separated. These are low-cost details with a high impact on how the firm's work is perceived.

High-speed B/W printing

Professional machines running over 50 pages per minute on standard 80g paper. For multiple copies of the same file (court filing + opposing party + client) the time doesn't double linearly: we print in series.

Double-sided with numbering

Continuous automatic double-sided numbering, ordered from the first to the last sheet. If you need separate numbering for the main document and exhibits (e.g. "pp. 1-50" + "exh. A pp. 1-12"), we set it in the file before printing.

Thermal binding in 5 minutes

Thermal is the standard binding for court case files: ready in 5 minutes, holds up to about 400 pages per volume, with a clean spine that archives well. Beyond 400 pages we suggest spiral binding or splitting into multiple volumes.

Custom cover

Cardstock cover printed with the docket (R.G.) number, party names, the subject of the case and the firm's logo. Once your firm's template is set up, later covers are reproduced in 2 minutes at reduced cost.

Exhibits separated and ordered

Automatic indexing of exhibits (A, B, C... or progressive numbering). We can print divider title pages on colored paper to separate them visually, or use side tabs for quick reference.

Index and folder

On request we produce an opening index listing the exhibits and their page numbers. For particularly important files, a premium cardstock folder with elastic band, in A4 or A4 extra format.

Three details for those who print case files regularly

Printing a case file is simple; printing it well, on time, and in the right way for the relevant court registry is another matter. Here are the things we come back to most often with the lawyers who work with us.

For today's filing: 11:00 is the deadline

The court registries' filing desk closes at 1 pm. To give your assistant time to walk to Piazza Cavour or Piazzale Clodio without rushing, the PDF must arrive by 11 am. If you're running late, tell us right away how long the document is: we can often still make it.

Confidentiality, with no third-party cloud

You send us the file by email or WhatsApp, we print it on the in-shop computers, we hand it to you. It never passes through external cloud platforms, is not stored after printing, and is never opened on computers shared with other customers.

Template saved for your firm

The first time, we set up your firm's template (cover, title pages, fonts, headers). From the second time onwards, you just send us the PDF of the document: we add the cover and layout ourselves, in a few minutes, identical to the previous ones.

Printing a case file properly

A court case file is not a stack of sheets. It is a document that will come into the hands of the judge, the opposing counsel and the client. Three different readers who will open it at different moments, with different expectations. The printing must hold up for all three: legible text, double-sided printing that leaves no show-through, binding that doesn't fall open after two consultations, a cover that isn't ruined on the way from the bag to the judge's bench.

On the operational details there is no compromise. The numbering must match what is cited in the document's notes: if the main document cites "exh. B p. 14", that page must actually be page 14 of exhibit B. The cover must be clear: docket (R.G.) number, party names, subject, the court seized, filing date. Exhibits must be separated visually, with a title page or side tab, so the judge can find them again without leafing back and forth.

GUUG has printed case files for law firms in Rome's historic center since 2005. We know the small variations in practice between the court registries: the format preferred at the Civil Court in Piazzale Clodio, the requirement of the Supreme Court of Cassation for documents filed at Piazza Cavour, the numbering convention of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR). These are details you learn only through years of working side by side with the professionals of the Rome bar.

To receive a quote, send the PDF to stampa@guug.it stating the number of copies, the binding type (thermal in the vast majority of cases), the cover color and your firm's details for invoicing. We reply within 30 minutes with the final cost and pickup time. For firms that work with us several times a month we open an account with a cumulative monthly invoice: no minimum volume requirement, payment within 30 days.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to print a court case file?
The cost depends on the number of pages, copies, single/double-sided, paper type, binding and cover. For a standard 200-page file in 3 copies with thermal binding and a custom cover, the price is generally competitive with the other print shops in the historic center. To get a precise quote, send the PDF to stampa@guug.it: we reply within 30 minutes with the final cost. We don't publish price lists because every firm has different needs and we price to measure.
How quickly is a 200-page file ready?
For a standard file (200 pages, double-sided, thermal binding, simple cover) the typical time is 30-60 minutes from when we receive the PDF, provided the printers aren't queued. For multiple copies of the same file the time grows but not linearly: 3 copies of 200 pages take about 45 minutes, 5 copies about an hour. For same-day deadlines (filing at 1 pm) we recommend sending the file by 11 am.
Do you print multiple copies for service on the opposing party?
Yes, it's one of the things we do most often. We print in series the number of copies you need (for the court filing, the opposing party, the client, the firm's archive), all bound with the same care and with numbered covers if needed. For files filed electronically where you only need the courtesy copy for the judge, we can also make just a single copy.
Up to how many pages does thermal binding hold?
Thermal binding holds well up to about 400 pages per volume. Beyond that, the spine struggles to hold and consultation becomes awkward. For bulkier files we recommend either spiral binding (holds up to 600 pages, but is less tidy for filing) or splitting into multiple volumes with a cross-reference on the cover (e.g. "Volume I — pp. 1-380, Volume II — pp. 381-720"). The choice also depends on the practice of the relevant court registry.
Do you keep my firm's template for future files?
Yes. At the first print we set up your cover template together (firm logo, fonts, position of the R.G. details, layout of the exhibit title pages). From the second time onwards you just send us the PDF of the document and exhibits, and we lay out the cover from the template already saved. We only change the variables (R.G. number, party names, subject, date). It reduces both processing time and the risk of errors.
Do I have to come and pick it up myself?
No. We can deliver to whoever you want: the firm's trainee, a courier you trust, or you in person. We keep the jobs at the counter under the firm's reference. For pickup no ID is needed if it's someone from the firm we already know; for new people we just ask for confirmation by WhatsApp or email that they are authorized.
