Guessing 'drag a bar' refers to setting a guide in place.

Are you going to get these commercially printed?  If so you need to ask the
printer for their requirements.

Printing at home? The attached Gimp template fits US letter size (just) You can
see how it is built up in layers. Some that you turn off before printing.  This
has a ppi setting of 300 ppi suitable for quality printing. Note Gimp is a
raster editor and works in pixels not inches although real world units can be
displayed.
