Bleed is when a color, image or other part of your art touches the edge. If your art doesn't have bleeds you can supply your file at size. If it is a business card your file size would be 3.5 inches by 2 inches. Half sheet flyer, 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. All files should be supplied at 100% of the size at 300 dpi. No crop marks required.
The best file type to supply is a PDF. Most programs can now save your art this way. This avoids any font problems that may arise, leading to incorrect print or delay of your job. Make sure you save your PDF as High Quality or Press Quality in the settings.
If a color, image or other part of your art touches the edge, you need to supply your file with a 1/8 inch bleed in addition to your file size. Supply your file at size plus 1/8 inch all the way around. If it is a business card your file size would be 3.75 inches by 2.25 inches. Half sheet flyer, 8.75 inches by 5.75 inches.

Crop marks are not needed on Business Cards, but any other files you can add crop marks to make your file print ready and speed up the processing. Crops marks are the only marks that need to be added.
Crop marks need to start at 1/8 inch from the edge of the sheet. If the crop mark starts at 1/16 inch or 3/32 inch, then that is the bleed that you are supplying, not 1/8 inch.
Prepare your file at 100% size and a minimum of 150 dpi.
Save as a High quality PDF file format.
No crop marks on any wide format files.
Supply 1/8 inch bleed on all files.
