What app are you using. If you are using Max, I would recommend you use morph targeting and just make some copies of the box and position the verticies to be completely folded. Then add a morph target to your original unfolded box and apply each portion of the folded boxes to a different slot.

Hope that helps...if not let me know.

hmm, morphing is done through linear interpolation, so the cardboard won't maintain it's size while folding. I would just add one bone per side and have those perform the folding.
