This method for producing a sheet-like member for an absorbent article comprises: a step in which a continuous body 35a of an elastic member is fed out by over-end unwinding； an arrangement step in which the continuous body 35a of the elastic member is arranged in an extended state between facing surfaces of continuous bodies of a sheet-like member facing each other along a conveyance direction； a joining section formation step in which joining sections j for joining the facing surfaces to each other are formed； and a cutting step in which the continuous bodies of the sheet-like member and the continuous body 35a of the elastic member are cut to generate a sheet-like member and an elastic member 35. The cross-sectional shape of the continuous body 35a of the elastic member has a longitudinal direction. In the arrangement step, the continuous body 35a is brought into contact with the facing surfaces while the orientation of the continuous body 35a is changed so that the lengths of traverse sections 35ay become longer than the lengths of raised sections 35ak. In the joining section formation step, the abovementioned orientation is maintained while forming the joining sections j on both sides of the continuous body 35a in a CD direction. The elastic member 35 expands in the CD direction and is sandwiched in the CD direction by the joining sections j, j and attached to the sheet-like member after the cutting step.L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un élément de type de feuille destiné à un article absorbant qui comprend : une étape au cours de laquelle un corps continu (35a) d'un élément élastique est amené à sortir par un déroulement en bout ； une étape d'agencement au cours de laquelle le corps continu (35a) de l'élément élastique est agencé dans un état étendu entre des surfaces opposées de corps continus d'un élément de type feuille se faisant face le long d'une direction de transport ； une étape de formation de section de jonction au cours de laquelle
