Hi,
I am designing a hang tag.the design calls for rounded corners in the bottom edge and "square" ones on the top edge.
What crop marks should I use to I represent the round corners on the bottom. I am leaving .125" of bleeding space around the design.
Thanks

Your design requires for a die cut. There is no way to cut round corners with a standard cutter. Die cuts are indicated with a die pattern keyline, not crop marks. Hopefully the person doing the printing/cutting has existing dies you can use, otherwise one must be made.

the best way to show this is to make a layer above all the rest and name it "die cut layer" and make it NON PRINTING. then make an exact box of the edge of the page you intend (make sure your bleeds bleed!) including rounded corners. make it a 100% magenta so to stand out when the project is opened in Illustrator.
then when you take the job to the printer, let them know that it will be die cut
just make your regular corner crop marks
