You can purchase pre-cut packages of these gaskets at the big box stores - or you can save a lot by purchasing a sheet/roll of the foam gasket and using a receptacle and switch cover to cut out your own.As for the attic hatches, most of the time there is only a minimal skirt around the inside of the hatch opening.
