you would have to find a rubber parts manufacturer ,then they will give you a tooling cost ,which can run in the thousands of dollars

Yep tooling up to produce seals like that will cost you a fortune. If you get a real price, make sure you are sitting down, or better still lying on
the floor when they tell you.

That's a great idea. You could even make a "straw" out of paper in different shapes e.g. triangular or rectangular.
