It’s no big deal …. depending on your OCD level.

Best answer I’ve heard on the COW in a while. Nice, Dennis!

A crease won’t affect the light much. It would affect the image if you out it over a lens though.

It’s rare to see a gel crease in the light. Depends on the use and fixture. Cyc lights are the one place that creases and wrinkles can sometimes be seen.
And depending on the fixture, I think gels with heavy creases fail slightly faster compared to a smooth gel in the same fixture. This is mostly noticeable in a studio where the gels stay in the same fixture all the time, like color splashes, cyc, etc.
