Alternatively, you could save the document format as a PDF. After the dialog box opens, go to - Marks and Bleeds - Marks - Turn on trim marks. Under Bleeds - Check, Use Document Bleeds.

The No-Fill suggestion for creating crop marks was a huge help - Thank you!!

Sooooo helpful! I couldn't figure out how to get crop marks on the actual object - not the bleeds, and you showed me how. Thank you!!

You can also go to Object > Create Trim Marks.. this will allow you to delete the object aftewards instead of choosing no fill. Because if you accidentally move that object, the trim marks will follow. You can lock the object but eliminating it altogether might just be easier so you don't have to manage that extra layer. Just my 2 cents - thanks for the video regardless! :)

Hi! I have a question, when saving the file as TIFF, the crop marks don't appear in the bleed, I see them on illustrator, but they don't show in the image when i open it, so how are the printers gonna cut if they don't show?
