Taking a step back to the earliest days of the Old Judge brand, I present some early OJ packs. The smoking tobacco pack (paper label for a 2oz pack) dates to July 1, 1878 (Goodwin acquired right to the name on April 6th, 1877). The cigarette pack dates to August 1884. Both are the earliest examples I'm aware of (earliest smoking tobacco label, earliest cigarette pack). The image of a paper pack comes from an 1879 Goodwin advertising booklet.
