Ironing Backdrops and Storing Them

How do you iron backdrops so there isn't any wrinkles in them?
Who do you store them? Rolled up, or folded?

Thanks

I store backdrops rolled, very carefully rolled. That prevents wrinkles and fold lines.

Steam them.
THIS or something similar is what we used at the studios where I worked.
Hang it, then steam it.
If they weren’t rolled up on carpet tubes, (I think large diameter pvc pipe would work too) they were loosely and randomly wadded up, never folded.
Folding creates wrinkles that are hard to get out.

I hang my wrinkled one up and go at them with a steamer. Don't have the room to lay them out for ironing.
