Default looking for poly hinges

Hey Guys.
doing a hard door build on my side by side. Using 1/4 inch puck board but there is a hinge called a POLY hinge, flex hinge etc. I need.
The only place I can find it in Canada is Grainger but they only sell it in 50 ft rolls for $160. I need 8 feet !!!!
Contacted a few companies out of the states. One company was $22 US for 2 5 ft hinges, $80 shipping. Another company I ordered and they cancelled my order as I wasn't a large company.
Anyone have any insight on where I could get some of these ?
Thanks

Looked on Amazon. They are small and lighter duty than i need. Require 4 ft long continuous hinge non metal.

Why dont you use a piece of rubber like the stuff the use to make belts for machinery,just put the door in place and screw on a 4 inch piece of rubber,it will act just like a hinge.

I don't know what the use or requirement of the hinge is , but I have used seat belt type material to replace broken plastic hinges on a marine cooler. I burnt holes in the webbing with a soldering iron to form holes for rivets(with washers) to secure the webbing to the structure.
