You'll get much cleaner folds if you pre-emboss the fold lines.
I did my usual embossing before the fins flats were cut off the full sheet. Trust me, it's easier to emboss when the fins are still on the sheet.
I used the un-serrated, smooth thin tip of a butter knife. Set a straight edge down the line, allowing a little space for the thickness of the knife.
TIP: If you emboss over corrugated cardboard, be sure the inside ribs of the cardboard run parallel to the lines you are embossing.
Look close and you can see the embossed lines.
Don't just do a single, sharp fold -
Work up to a sharp fold line. Coax the tab folds little by little and finish with a sharp crease with a burnisher.
