I can't get the wrinkle fully out of mine. I say you check out seamless paper or Canvas backdrops.

Unless they are lit from behind, no one else will know they are see-through, though you could always back them with a black sheet or 2.

Many use a steamer to get the wrinkles out. SteamFast SF-407 1500-Watt Fabric Steamer

Your subjects need to be far enough away from the backdrop that you can use DoF to blur the backdrop, then the wrinkles don't show in the photo.

The best way to store them is to hang them up. Some embrace the wrinkles, and just stuff their backdrops into a bag.

Use clamps and baseboard to stretch them out. Clamp to the backdrop stand sides and the baseboard along the bottom.
