Systems, apparatuses and methods for processing a glass ribbon (). A glass ribbon is supplied to an upstream side of a conveying apparatus () comprising a conveyor device and a pulling device (). The conveyor device establishes a primary plane of travel (P) from the upstream side to a downstream side. The pulling device () is located at the downstream side and applies a pulling force on the glass ribbon () to convey the glass ribbon along a travel path that includes first, second and third bends (), and into the primary plane of travel from a location downstream of the third bend and to the pulling device (). At least one of the first, second, and third bends imparts a stress into a surface of the glass ribbon to flatten the glass ribbon. A viscosity of the glass ribbon at the third bend is greater than a viscosity of the glass ribbon at the first bend.
