Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look on our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. — Claudio Fiandrino, Jun 10 '13 at 18:30
I suggest you take a look at the zwpagelayout and/or the crop packages. They are able to put crop marks on your hardcopy. — Count Zero, Jun 10 '13 at 18:40

This is already possible with geometry:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
  a4paper,
  layout=b5paper,
  left=3.5cm,
  right=2cm,
  bottom=2cm,
  top=3cm,
  twoside,
  showcrop
}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\author{A. Uthor}
\title{A paper}
\maketitle
\lipsum[1-12]
\end{document}
