What hand tool can be used to crease cardboard sheets against their grain for easy folding?

Use a dremel rotary tool with a grinding wheel to grind the corners off the edges of a large, thick sized flat head screw driver, making the edges are rounded. Use this hand made tool in combination with straight edge, clamped on top of your cardboard, to your work surface. Run your crease tool, with pressure, along the straightedge, making several passes, while gradually increasing pressure.
Another option, (which would likely work for small boxes and a large square), is to clamp a straight edge to your cardboard (and hardware stores sell straight edges with built in clamps). Then, take a thick sided metal square, and stand it upright, along your clamped straight edge. Use a rubber mallet and pound along the edge of the metal square to create a crease. (However, the metal square should be larger than the piece of cardboard, otherwise, the corners of the square will likely pierce into the cardboard).

It sounds like what you have is called a "gutter fold", an error that happens when one of the large sheets on which multiple bills are printed has a fold or crease in it so part of the paper does not get any ink. Gutter folds are among the most common printing errors; still, they might retail for upwards of $40 depending on the size of the fold.
