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 do at my warehouse. They are usually worse than a standard papercut so the distinction does say something
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
I call it "box attack"
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.
