Clear plastic sheet

Does anyone know a place that sell clear plastic sheet with size like 8'x4'?

The type of clear plastic that is used for packaging. It is thin, flexible but can keep the shape.

Homedepot sells the clear, flat panel but it is too thick and not as flexible for my usage.

Thanks.

Not sure if the dimensions would be right, but would a shower curtain liner do?

I think OP is referring to that clamshell type plastic. The kind everyone hates and you cut yourself on trying to get damn packages open.
PET is usually the composition of that stuff.

OP, this stuff is used mainly for industrial applications. You can try a glass shop (window repair), as they may stock something thin enough.
Be aware that not all of it has UV stabilizers in it, so if you are using it outdoors it may fade, discolour, or become brittle if in contact with sunlight.

These guys carry all kinds of plastic materials in different shapes, give them a call to see if they have what you need. Near Downsview airport in Toronto

Might help if you provide background of how/why/requirements you need the plastic for. Take 2 minutes when you ask a question and provide info if you want good answers.

Yes, that's the type. Light, flexible and hold shape. I plan to use it generally inside the house for various applications, so UV stable is not a concern.
