    i always use a 3mm bleed.

    registration magenta dotted line and comments on the pasteboard (if it's in registration magenta, then they know not to print it).

    if you're using the accepted industry terminology (eg: accordion, roll, concertina, etc.), then they should know which direction to fold. however, it is always advisable to provide a mock up.

    the most important think, imho, is to get a digital proof and scatter images if necessary. the proof will tell you if they've got their heads around your p/o or not.
