Best guess I can come up with is a PVC gutter and a pair of shears?

work of it?)

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not looking for blank credit cards
*or* business cards. Rather, pieces of plastic that are *about*
that size (easier to suggest an item that conjures a general
size in people's minds than to specify a set of various sizes).

Hence the appeal of cutting a PVC gutter to the ACTUAL size(s)
that I require (I'm not aware of "generic sheets of PVC material"
that I can buy locally; OTOH, I can get a gutter pretty easily!)


Maybe, or need thicker ?


I'll guess that 0.030" is pretty flexible (depends on the type of plastic).
My library card is about that thickness -- though I suspect stiffer -- and
it would be too flimsy.
