Default plastic hinge

We're not satisfied our current method of displaying photos of our
work: tacking them to a wall, or placing them weak plastic pocket
pages. I noticed "Staples" uses a more robust display system in their
custom printing department. It employs black butylstyrene plastic trim
on it's leaves which function as binders, and hinges. Two large 11" x
17" x .100" acrylic sheet sandwich the media very well. The front
closure is a section of the above mentioned black plastic resembling
the letter "E". At the hinge side the trimo section is similar except
with an "O" ( =8C=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D3 )attached to "E=
" in order to drive a
single wire that acts as a hinge. Here's the problem. Ou****er plastics
dosn' stock these plastic sections. Custom orders are too expensive as
we only need about 50'-0" of this material. I don't want to weld /
drill plastic, and steel. I'm looking for easy, clean, and "good
enough" so I can go on to creating the work that resides within the
display.
