i bought a used sackville on ebay that didnt come with any stiffener. coroplast is pretty expensive at office supplies so i just used cardboard. i forgot if i doubled it up but i then wrapped it in gaffers tape for some rigidity. i originally tried to melt a plastic record sleeve on it so it'd stay water proof ish, but ditched that idea eventually. the biggest con is the only gaff tape i had was black which makes the inside of the sack seem like an abyss.
