To make it possible to easily take out mainly a napkin, while maintaining the surface sheet thereof in a hygienic state and avoiding the occurrence of individually-packaging failures such as bending or wrinkling in a packaging sheet during the production line. In the process of producing individually packaged absorbent articles, absorbent articles 1 are provided at definite intervals on a band shaped sheet 10A and a notch out 13 satisfying the following conditions is formed at the intermediate site between each pair of the absorbent articles. [1] The notch out 13 is formed by an outward curved cut line 20, which starts from the cutting-starting point in the side periphery toward the diagonally tilting direction forward in the line and shows a convex outward of the band shaped sheet 10A, and an inward curved line 21 which is connected to the endpoint of the outward curved cut line 20 via a ininflexion point P and shows a convex inward of the band shaped sheet 10A. [2] when the interval distance in the line direction of the outward curved cut line 20 is referred to as B and the distance from the ininflexion point P to the side periphery line of the band shaped sheet 10A is referred to as A, the relationship B>1.5A is satisfied.
