This invention relates to fold line structure of a corrugated fiberboard in which the fold lines have a shape like the letter V, along which the corrugated fiberboard sheet is folded. The fold lines extend perpendicularly to or at an angle other than a right angle to the flutes. Each fold line is composed of cuts, each of which has a predetermined length and penetrates the corrugated fiberboard sheet, and hinge portions, each of which has a predetermined length and is formed by compressing the flutes, with the cuts and the hinge portions aligned in an alternating arrangement. Auxiliary cuts each have a planar shape approximating an one-sided arrow directed toward the adjacent hinge portion, penetrate the corrugated fiberboard sheet, and are formed on opposing sides at both ends of each cut portion. With the above constitution, the fold lines like the inverted letter V and the fold lines like the letter V can be formed on the corrugated fiberboard sheet through one process by the same die cutter, and the corrugated fiberboard sheet is able to be folded along the fold lines smoothly and accurately.
A corrugated fiberboard sheet having a longitudinal dimension, a transverse dimension and a thickness, comprising:
