I don't full understand what it is you want.

Are you looking to recreate a cardboard  replacement box, with card stock, including the built in hang tab, or  some sort of insert for a specific type of case?  I assume the former -  if that is the case, it's going to be a very complex template, and we would need a scan of a completely flattened box (ideally taken apart at the glue line) - showing all sides and flaps.  It would probably need to be printed on at least 2 sheets of card.

I don't have a box to hand to help out, but if you do some leg work, I can put the template together for you.

Yeah the former I think too.

I just checked European Halley Wars box and it would be possible to print in one go but it would need Legal size cardboard (A4 is just too small to print the top and bottom flaps).

I suspect the hang tab would take the card requirements even  wider, but not sure.

I don't think so.

There are 3 ways to do it:

1: The hang tab is carved out of the back cover (which leaves tab sahaped hole in the back cover).
2: The hang tab is carved out of top flap (which leaves tab sahaped hole in the top flap).
3: The top flap isn't hinged to the back cover but to the front cover and the tab is hinged to the back cover (this results no hole in the back box or top flap).

In all cases the top flaps height exceeds the hang tab's height and is printed either in to the back cover's are, top flap's area or in to area that would be otherwise cut away, so no extra cardboard needs to be reserved.
If needed I can do rough scetches to illustrate what I mean.

I get what you mean.  Just can't remember what it's like on the real box.

Easiest way would be to have a separate pice of card inserted into a slot in the top flap, but this definitely isn't the way it was on a retail box.

Need to dig out my boxes.

I don't have US boxes or any other that has the tab, but I think the method 3 is best as it does not leave a hole and can be done from one part aswell.

Found image that confirms it

 

The top flap hinges to the front and the tab is hinged to the back doubled up and folded.

just dug out my retail boxes (all ntsc purple stripe) the part that holds the cart internally is also made from the same single sheet of card that makes the cover.

To include this you would need card stock that was 26cm tall, by 39cm long

To do the box without the internal cart holder requires 26cm tall by 28cm.
