A manufacturing method for a sheet-like member associated with an absorbent article, the sheet-like member having a folded-up section which is temporarily-secured in a folded-up state, comprising: forming the folded-up section by folding up a continuous sheet in a width direction of the continuous sheet, the continuous sheet continuing along a transporting direction, creasing the folded-up section in a folded-up state by pressing continuously the folded-up section along a direction of a fold line of the folded-up section, temporarily-securing the folded-up section in a folded-up state by pressing the folded-up section with a plurality of protrusions that are included in a pressing member, producing the sheet-like member by dividing the continuous sheet with a predetermined pitch in the transporting direction, the continuous sheet having been creased and temporarily-secured, and conveying the produced sheet-like member; wherein in the creasing step, in passing the continuous sheet through a nip between a pair of creasing rolls (64, 65) which rotate with their outer circumferential surfaces facing each other, the outer circumferential surface of the pair of creasing rolls continuously presses the folded-up section along the direction of the fold line, in the temporarily-securing step, the pressing member includes an embossing roll which rotates and has the plurality of protrusions on an outer circumferential surface thereof and a roll which rotates with an outer circumferential surface thereof facing the embossing roll, and in passing the continuous sheet through a nip between the embossing roll and the roll, the protrusions and the outer circumferential surface press the folded-up section; and wherein the embossing roll and the roll also function as the pair of creasing rolls, and concerning creasing the folded-up section in a folded-up state, by constantly pressing the folded-up section with either of the protrusion of the embossing roll and a portion surrounding the protrusion, the folded-up section is continuously pressed along the direction of the fold line. forming the folded-up section by folding up a continuous sheet in a width direction of the continuous sheet, the continuous sheet continuing along a transporting direction, creasing the folded-up section in a folded-up state by pressing continuously the folded-up section along a direction of a fold line of the folded-up section, temporarily-securing the folded-up section in a folded-up state by pressing the folded-up section with a plurality of protrusions that are included in a pressing member, producing the sheet-like member by dividing the continuous sheet with a predetermined pitch in the transporting direction, the continuous sheet having been creased and temporarily-secured, and conveying the produced sheet-like member; in the creasing step, in passing the continuous sheet through a nip between a pair of creasing rolls (64, 65) which rotate with their outer circumferential surfaces facing each other, the outer circumferential surface of the pair of creasing rolls continuously presses the folded-up section along the direction of the fold line, in passing the continuous sheet through a nip between a pair of creasing rolls (64, 65) which rotate with their outer circumferential surfaces facing each other, the outer circumferential surface of the pair of creasing rolls continuously presses the folded-up section along the direction of the fold line, in the temporarily-securing step, the pressing member includes an embossing roll which rotates and has the plurality of protrusions on an outer circumferential surface thereof and a roll which rotates with an outer circumferential surface thereof facing the embossing roll, and in passing the continuous sheet through a nip between the embossing roll and the roll, the protrusions and the outer circumferential surface press the folded-up section; and wherein the pressing member includes an embossing roll which rotates and has the plurality of protrusions on an outer circumferential surface thereof and a roll which rotates with an outer circumferential surface thereof facing the embossing roll, and an embossing roll which rotates and has the plurality of protrusions on an outer circumferential surface thereof and a roll which rotates with an outer circumferential surface thereof facing the embossing roll, and in passing the continuous sheet through a nip between the embossing roll and the roll, the protrusions and the outer circumferential surface press the folded-up section; and wherein the embossing roll and the roll also function as the pair of creasing rolls, and concerning creasing the folded-up section in a folded-up state, by constantly pressing the folded-up section with either of the protrusion of the embossing roll and a portion surrounding the protrusion, the folded-up section is continuously pressed along the direction of the fold line.
