CDs/DVDs with images for printing reproduction boxes are regularly offered for sale on Ebay. However, I have no idea regarding either content or quality. (My guess is that only common boxes will be included.)

I bought one of those box scan CD / DVD's.
Most of the scans are dire (as attached).
Also, a lot of the scans are just cars at car shows, not box scans at all.
A bit of extra content though I suppose.

Do you remember the source or dealer? That may help weed out the less desirable offerings. Regardless, nearly all of these dealer's offerings are under 10 pounds with minimal shipping. So, it's not like it's going to break the bank if one is not what your seeking.

I've had it a while now but there are some good scans on the discs.
Anyone interested in a specific scan, I could perhaps message one over.
Bad scans can be cut and pasted if both sides of the box are identical (like below).
