The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacture of an absorbent article, with which it is possible to form a desired coloring pattern upon an absorbent article and to reliably manage the quality of said coloring pattern. Provided is a method for manufacture of an absorbent article, in which: microcapsules, which are provided upon a substrate and in which coloring agents are enclosed, are destroyed in a prescribed pattern, and the coloring agents discharged upon the substrate； and the substrate is coated with a developer, causing the coloring to be expressed in the prescribed pattern via a reaction between the coloring agents and the developer.本發明之目的係在於提供一種吸收性物品的製造方法，其可在吸收性物品形成期望的著色圖案，並且可穩定地管理其品質。一種吸收性物品的製造方法，係以預定的圖案破壞將封裝有提供給基材的染色劑之微膠囊，使染色劑釋出至基材，再塗佈顯色劑，藉由發色劑與顯色劑的反應，使前述預定的圖案產生發色。
