A paper-based bakeable tray having a bottom area, a peripheral sidewall disposed around said bottom area and extending a distance upwardly from said bottom area thereby defining a tray volume in which a food product is received. The bottom area includes a plurality of diecuts. The bottom area may be generally flat or may have raised contour surfaces or an embossed pattern, or a combination of any of the foregoing.

A printing platform includes a printing engine with one or more printheads arranged such that the ink drops are jetted vertically upwards against the action of gravity; and a substrate transportation system where the normal to the surface in contact with the substrate is parallel and with opposite direction to the travelling direction of the jetted ink drops. It is necessary to counteract the weight of the substrate during the printing process to avoid it from falling under the action of gravity. This is achieved through any of a mechanical element that interferes with the falling of the substrate and that keeps it in place; or a system that generates adhesion forces between the element that transmits the motion to the substrate, typically a conveyor belt, and the substrate through the action of electrostatic forces, an air pressure differential between both faces of the substrate, or any other suitable mechanism.

Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (“pre-print”), are provided herein. One or more controllers can be used to aggregate orders and information to prepare one or more control plans (e.g., reel maps, reel plans, etc.) for processing a roll of web product through the manufacturing process. The control plan may include a set of instructions for operating one or more systems within the manufacturing process to form the desired finished paper-based product. In such a regard, efficient manufacturing of various paper-based products, including corrugated boxes, folded carton, labels, flexible paper, industrial bags, plates, cups, décor, and many others, can be achieved. Further, efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated.

A radial spacing, between two rotating cylindrical embossing tools, is adjustable, in an embossing device (14) having: an armature (19, 21); a first structure (16, 24, 26, 27, 29) which is movably mounted in translation relative to the armature (19, 21), which has a first rotating cylindrical tool (16); a second structure (17, 22, 28, 31) mounted in a fixed manner on the armature (19, 21) and which is provided with a second rotating cylindrical tool (17). A method includes steps of: pushing (T) on the first structure to move it closer to the second structure by leaning on the armature (19, 21) to adjust a radial space, or pulling (P) on the first structure (16, 24, 26, 27, 29) in order to move it away from the second structure (17, 22, 28, 31) by leaning on the armature (19, 21) in order to finely adjust the radial spacing between the first and the second tools (16, 17).
