PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method for a sheet-like material in which cutting performance of a cutter for cutting a base material sheet can be prevented from being degraded, and thereby the sheet-like material can be manufactured efficiently and continuously.SOLUTION: A manufacturing method for a sheet-like material is provided for an absorbent article that comprises multiple absorbent units 4 including a long base part 2 and a water absorbing polymer 3 fixed on the surface of one side face of the long base part 2. The manufacturing method includes: an adsorption step of adsorbing a base material sheet 20 to a guide member 111 with adsorption means 112 by using a guide member 111 having a furrow ridge area 113 where a ridge part 113a and a groove part 113b extending in a longitudinal direction Y are arranged alternatingly side by side in a lateral direction X and the adsorption means 112 for adsorbing the base material sheet 20 to the guide member 111 a spraying deposition step of depositing the water absorbing polymer 3 in each valley part 20b of the base material sheet 20 adsorbed to the guide member 111 and a cut step of cutting each peak 20a of the base material sheet 20 and forming multiple long base parts 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】基材シートをカットするカッターの切断性能の低下を防止して、シート状物を効率よく連続的に製造できるシート状物の製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】長尺状基体部2及び該長尺状基体部2の一方側の面の表面に固定された吸水性ポリマー3を備えた吸収性ユニット4を複数本具備する吸収性物品用のシート状物の製造方法である。該製造方法は、縦方向Yに延びる畝部113aと溝部113bとが横方向Xに交互に並んで配された畝溝領域113を有するガイド部材111及び基材シート20を該ガイド部材111に吸着させる吸着手段112を用い、基材シート20を吸着手段112でガイド部材111に吸着させる吸着工程と、ガイド部材111に吸着された基材シート20各谷部20bに該吸水性ポリマー3を堆積させる散布堆積工程と、基材シート20の各山部20aをカットして複数本の長尺状基体部2を形成するカット工程とを備える。【選択図】図3
