Hi, I'm new here on the RPF, and would like some helpful information on making a replica, reusable cigarette back. The style from the 50s. I have tried again and again to make some, but they are either too brittle, or don't look right. I want to make a replica KOOL pack from the 40s or 50s. A replica camel filters pack, because I don't like the new design with the big circle in the middle. If anybody could lead me in the direction of some printable labels, and maybe some design thoughts so I can reuse a soft pack without having to tear the whole top off to refill it? How would I go about making it sturdier so it has at least a lifetime longer than 20 smokes. Has anybody don't this before? I don't expect to be spoon fed info, but I need a kick in the keester toward the right direction.Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Long time smoker here (not so sure that's a good thing) what you could do is take the design of a soft pack cigarette box, print it up in a heavier card stock, then get a regular box pack and pull the whole foil wrapped section out and insert it into the cover. You'd still have to tear off the top part of the foil, but I used to recycle box packs with softs from time to time doing it that way. As long as the butts are the same size as the cover it should be no problem.
