A corrugated plasticboard having a core of corrugations which give rise to apexes, capable of being cleanly folded either parallel or transverse to said corrugations without a pressure assist bar, comprising: two face sheets separated and heat bonded to a corrugated core, wherein, on a first side of said corrugated core, a first of said two face sheets is heat bonded substantially along the complete width of apexes of said corrugated core, and wherein, on a second side of said corrugated core, a second of said two face sheets has separate heat bonds transverse to and spaced apart along substantially each apex of said corrugated core, wherein some of said heat bonds form colinear indentations transverse to a plurality of said corrugations which indentations are at such a depth that a smooth fold incorporating some of said indentations can be made by means of a flexing force about said some of said indentations without applying a pressure thereto by means of a pressure assist bar.
