If that will be printed and cut, I suggest to use printing marks extension instead.

Hi.

Enable snapping. ( % )
Turn on "Snap to page " by using the page like icon in the snap dialog (third from bottom)
Draw rectangle ( F4 ) snapping to page border.
Adjust stroke of rectangle to 1 pixel.
Delete fill for rectangle if any.

If you need more specific instructions - chime back.
