Are you really using the bleed and trimming to size? If so, then just add a dashed line where you need on a separate layer called fold.

And for good measure, make the dashed line in a spot color called FOLD, and set it to Overprint Stroke. (This will make is a bit less likely than a careless printer will print your line, and it will prevent it from knocking out your 4-color work)

Use whatever color you want and simply uncheck the "Print" checkbox in the layer options.
