Sega switching to cardboard boxes for Genny games

I have a two part question. Why did Sega start using cardboard boxes towards the end of the gennys life? Off the top of my head I remember having Phantasy Star IV and Sonic and Knuckles in these, and they were destroyed within weeks. Also, has anyone ever scanned these covers and made them into a regular insert for a regular genny case?
 
I hated that, when they switched. It made them no different (packaging based) than Nintendo. Those cardboard boxes just don't stand up over time. I was gonna do a similar thing, scanning and converting, with my GBA games. You can buy the DS boxes, and they accomodate GBA games as well.
 
yeah that sucked.

At least they went the opposite way with Sega CD.

Talk about hard to keep in good condition.

Most 32X boxes were cardboard too IIRC
 
Sega was jumping on that environmental kick, last I heard. Cardboard or formed pulp packaging for everything lasted even to the Dreamcast hardware packaging.
