Storing Vinyl backdrops or Backdrops that really can't be wrinkled

I am new to the indoor studio thing, and need help with storing the backdrops that I am not using while making sure they don't get wrinkled up again.
Tips and advice are greatly appreciated!

You already asked this question in your other thread.

For your printed vinyl backgrounds, you'll want cardboard rolls to roll the backgrounds onto (one roll per background). I'd suggest trying 3-inch or 4-inch diameter rolls. You might find these available from a carpet store.

Some backgrounds, such as the "tie-dyed" muslins that I use, can be simply stuffed into a storage bag where it will acquire totally random wrinkles. If the background is out of focus and properly lit, the wrinkles either disappear or simply blend with the random patterns.

I did, I just wanted to make sure it would get answered. Do they have cardboard rolls for backgrounds that are 10x10?

Go to your local home improvement store, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. and pick up a 10' piece of PVC pipe. 2 1/2 or 3 inch would work well. Very cheap as well.

See my post in your other thread. A carpet shop should be able to help with a suitable tube to roll them onto, and probably with one that you can use as an outer for protection while being stored. They would normally be quite happy for you to take a few, since it normally costs money for them to get rid of them. Just ask nicely, and explain what you need them for, you might even get some business from it, you never know!

There is an easier solution for storage, PVC from a home improvement/hardware store like Home Depot or Lowes. Readily accessible, 10' long, various sizes, and cheap.

When rolling them, do you roll with the image on the inside or on the outside?

I wouldn't think it matters as in either case, the printed side will be touching the non-printed side however, rolling it printed side facing the tube will leave the non-printed side out when rolled.
