score line

Fold-and-snap mark

A score line is a shallow groove or indentation made in a material to allow clean breaking or folding along that line.

Packaging has score lines where you tear open a box, pills have score lines for splitting tablets in half, and craftwork uses score lines to create precise folds in paper or cardboard: Fold along the score line.
