  Cardboard cuts are absolutely a thing, like a paper cut on steroids.

  I used to work in a warehouse and spent most of my day opening, resealing, making, and breaking down boxes. Spend enough time around them and the boxes will get you.

    Yeah but does anyone call them that? I’d still call that kind of fine cut a paper cut.

    Never heard anyone say “ow I’ve got a cardboard cut”

      We definitely called them cardboard cuts, can’t say how universal it is but every job I’ve where I’ve handled a lot of boxes it seems to be in pretty common use

  if a papercut is like being cut with a switchblade, a cardboard cut is like being cut with a saw.
