A foldable sheet includes a sheet body having an undulated shape. The sheet body has a plurality of joints extending in a direction of undulation. The joints are spaced apart from one another and divide the sheet body into undulated sheet segments. Each sheet segment has distal edges that are spaced apart. The distal edge along the valley portions of one of the sheet segments is spaced apart from the distal edge along the valley portions of an adjacent sheet segment to define a cut-out portion of the joint. The distal edge along the summit portions of one of the sheet segments is joined to the distal edge along the summit portions of an adjacent sheet segment to define a hinge portion of the joint. Each sheet segment is pivotable about at least one of the joints to form a structure.

The corner protector has a flexible sheet having an undulated shape with summit portions, valley portions, and intermediate portions each extending between corresponding summit and valley portions. The sheet is foldable along a length of at least one of the summit portions to form a folded shape for the sheet corresponding to a shape of the corner. The valley portions of the sheet in the folded shape are abuttable against side walls of the object intersecting at the corner. An apex section of the summit portion in the folded shape is spaced from the corner of the object upon the valley portions abutting the side walls.
