Leveling a shed ("flat wedges"?)

Since I'm not a native English speaker, I may just miss the right word for this:
I would like to put a shed on a slightly uneven (paved) ground. I would like to raise it so that there's a good airflow and no wet underneath to prevent rotting, e.g. by putting bricks (we still have many lying around here) under the corners and (quite a few) other points were the shed can rest on. However, to balance out the slightly uneven paving, I'm looking for something I can use to top up the height of the bricks.
Basically something like a wedge but (a) heavy duty, because it needs to carry quite a bit of weight and (b) just flat, not in a wedge-like shape. More like thin sheets of a hard material, each one max 3mm or so thick. Size roughly 5 x 5 cm (2x2 inch)
Does something like this exist (officially for that purpose) or does anyone have an idea what I could 'mis-use' for that purpose?
Shouldn't be too expensive either...
Edit: It just came to my mind, maybe these flat metal plates with screwholes for joining wooden beams / rafters. I could even screw them to the floor of the shed to avoid that they slip out over time...
