I too have run into this problem and have begun to work on a solution. 
I reviewed the old Kodak boxes and it looks as though they put them
together by hand.  

So, I have attempted to design my own box based on the approximate
dimensions of the old Kodak boxes.  The idea is to print a "top" and a
"bottom" onto card stock and then cut out, score and tape the boxes
together.

I currently have a working design that seems to be pretty good.  I need
to translate it into something I can post on the internet for download
and printing.  I will pass on the URL as soon as I get this done. 
Hopefully this will work well for anyone who wants to try it.
