Abstract: The invention relates to a method for folding a corrugated cardboard blank (1) intended to form a folded box, the method comprising the following series of steps: i) supplying a blank (1) comprising at least one longitudinal crease (11); ii) applying a liquid to the longitudinal crease (11) so as to make the corrugated cardboard more flexible at the location of the longitudinal crease (11), the application being performed by means of a liquid application arrangement (130) comprising a liquid-ejection nozzle (134) provided with a liquid outlet; iii) folding the blank (1) around the longitudinal crease (11); wherein an aspiration of liquid is produced inside an aspiration compartment (163) of the liquid application arrangement (130) during step ii). The aspiration making it possible to remove any excess liquid which might not have been absorbed by the cardboard and/or the cardboard dust produced.
