In addition to setting the crop marks you should also set the trim,  
crop and bleed boxes appropriately --- your printer should have  
specifics on the minimums necessary.

You'll want the package atbegshi and code like to:

>>> \documentclass{minimal}
>>>
>>> \usepackage[paperwidth=630bp,paperheight=810bp]{geometry}

>>> \usepackage{atbegshi}

>>>

\special{pdf: put @thispage <</TrimBox [9.0 9.0 621.0 801.0]>>}
\begin{document}
Test
\newpage
Test
\end{document}

Note the manually added special before begin{document}
