Folding Lines

You can use folding lines to determine where to fold documents. Folding lines are printed on the visible part of the document (the part that will remain when the document is cut to the right size, for example they are also printed when there is no bleed margin). Unlike guide lines, folding lines are part of the print output, they are printed on either side of the document.
