Medium format film - wrapper on or off?

[stompyq]

Just curious if theres a difference in transporting and short term storage of 120mm film without wrappers. I have a month long vacation due and would like to take a few rolls of film with me. Should I keep the wrappers on, or does it matter and if so why?

Definitely wrapped ... unwrapped 120, in my experience, gets a lot of light bleed between the edge of the film and the spool flanges.

Yes, wrapped. What would ever make you think of removing the lightproof, humidity-proof mylar before you are ready to use the film?

Grab a few rolls of Rollei film - they come in individual plastic tubs which are perfect for storing the exposed rolls until you can develop them.
