    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of providing board containers (V) with prints and a printing machine that applies the method. According to the inve ntion, the printing machine comprises a turret head (2), with uniformly spac ed radial arms (3) diverging from its rotational axis, each arm ending in a mandrel (4) that carries a container (1 ); and stationary stations (5, 6, 8) that are located on the path of the turret head for gripping a container, p rinting it by a printhead (7, 13), and removing the printed container (V). A t the printing station (6), the container (1) is digital-printed by the prin thead (7), past which the surface of the container is conveyed by means of a rotational motion. The container can be a conical drinking cup (1), which i s ink-jet printed by the stationary printhead (7) by rotating the cup by 360 ° by means of the mandrel (4) that is pushed inside the cup. The cups (1) ca n be produced at a plant in mass-scale production runs and divided into smal ler lots, which are delivered to customers and which the customers then prin t according to their own individual needs.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a board tray (7), to a tray blank feasible for the method, and to a tray obtained by the method. The method comprises moulding a blank of plastic-coated board into the tray (7) comprising a bottom (3), side walls (4), as well as a rim flange (5), the blank being compressed in a direction transverse to the tray's side walls and rim flange. According to the invention, the blank is made thinner on its side opposite to the plastic coating such that, during , the moulding process, the plastic coating double-folds at the compressed parts and stabilizes compressions (8) by becoming sealed to itself. Making the blank thinner is most conveniently effected by carving the board layer with a laser beam for having the fiber material predominantly or completely removed from where the cuts are located. As a result of the moulding process, the tray's rim flange (5) develops a smooth plastic surface which enables closing the tray hermetically with a heat-sealed cover.

    Abstract: A board tray, a method for manufacturing a board tray and a tray blank from which the board tray is manufactured, said board tray containing side walls and a bottom wall made of a board layer provided on at least one surface thereof with a plastic coating, wherein areas of reduced thickness are formed in the board layer whereby portions of the plastic layer which have been melted and are disposed adjacent to areas of reduced thickness are compressed into such areas forming double-folded linear plastic compressions which seal on themselves.
