Where to acquire replacement boxes for vinyl multi-album sets

I've been steadily using our Degritter Mark II to clean our vinyl collection. I have a number of classical multi-album sets that were passed down by relatives, some great pressings. Alas, some of the related multi-album boxes are past remediation (I've tried, believe me). I have generic single album covers to replace severely damaged single album covers; however, as of yet I'm unable to source replacement multi-album set boxes. I note that some of the boxes house 3,4, and even 18 LPs. Sizing is approx. 12.5"H x 12.5"D, varying widths.

Internet searches to this point have not been helpful. I've considering going to estate / yard sales simply to try to acquire the boxes of non-related multi-album box sets to repurpose the boxes. Short of the former or trying to construct our own boxes, what are other listeners using when their respective multi-album set box cannot be resuscitated? In advance, my appreciation for all relevant / helpful replies. FYI - most magazine storage boxes are tall enough, but not deep enough. This one was an exception re: height (open top) / depth (open front); however, the album contents still wouldn't be boxed. And this product is only available in Germany - they don't ship. Then there's this product which is a mailer; even though I might be able to hack it to make it feasible, it's less than optimal albeit you can vary the width from 0.5" to 1".

   I’m not sure if this would work as it’s still a mailer, but this company has been good to deal with.

Pizza boxes are often 14x14... a bit bigger than you need.  But the upside is they come with pizza!

Someone with a larger 3D printer, something like a Prusa XL, will be able to print them for you no problem.  The XL can print up to a 14.17"x14.17"x14.17" cube.

If all else fails, you can always resort to having an art conservation materials business like Talas build you anything your heart desires. I've dealt with them and they are a class act. They can probably make any of the linked storage solutions any size you'd like.
