[Problem] When packaging an absorbent article to produce a packaged article, reducing the loss of raw materials caused by packaging devices by actuating a plurality of packaging devices equipped on a packaging line while synchronizing the packaging devices to a plurality of production devices equipped on a production line for absorbent articles. [Solution] Provided is a device for producing a packaged article in which an absorbent article is packaged. The present invention includes the following: a plurality of production devices for carrying out a process for producing the absorbent article by operating in synchronization with each other on the basis of a first synchronization signal an encoder for outputting a second synchronization signal by being rotationally driven by a servomotor and a plurality of packaging devices for carrying out a process for packaging the absorbent article by operating in synchronization with each other on the basis of the second synchronization signal. By positionally controlling the servomotor with the inputted first synchronization signal serving as a command position, the encoder is caused to output as the second synchronization signal, a signal such as a signal that synchronizes with the first synchronization signal.
