drawing a vertical line in a page border

Question

I could draw a border for a page with

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=16cm,paperheight=24cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[a4,frame,center]{crop}
\usepackage{lipsum}% dummy text
\begin{document}
    \lipsum
    \lipsum
    \lipsum
\end{document}

How can I draw a vertical line (red line) in the below picture:

You can do this similar to my answer here using a \rule or \line instead of the image and package color or xcolor to select the color. — cabohah, Mar 06 '23 at 13:54

Very easy with eso-pic package and a simple \rule:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=16cm,paperheight=24cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[a4,frame,center]{crop}
\usepackage{eso-pic}
\AddToShipoutPictureBG{%
    \hspace{1.5cm}\color{red}\rule{.1cm}{\paperheight}%
    }
\usepackage{lipsum}% dummy text
\begin{document}
    \lipsum
    \lipsum
    \lipsum
\end{document}
