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"
My friend and I call it a box cut because they’re often worse than a normal paper cut due to fibers that can cause additional irritation unless cleaned out.
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
We do at my warehouse. They are usually worse than a standard papercut so the distinction does say something
I call it "box attack"
