I have made some folding guides before.  Use some dotted line that is 
really light gray and not long.  I made sure there was one on top and on 
the bottom of the page so the folder could use them to line up the edge.

For LO, I would use
Separator line
the dotted line
0.25pt width
35%
Centered
Gray 10%

or something similar if I was printing in b&w or a color that matches 
the color of the paper.
