I looked all over for this stuff in my local area and could not find. What exactly is it called in the US, and does anyone have a good thickness and trusted dealer I can use?

its called Plasticard and other things.

Thank you!

Another cheap way to get it is to go to like a home depot, lowes, walmart and get a plastic sign that says things like For Sale. They are made out of styrene, and tend to be cheaper.

But they may not be the thickness you want.
