Individually packaged absorbent article

It is an object 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 package 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 (13) satisfying the following requirements is formed at the intermediate site between each pair of the absorbent articles. [1] The notch (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 an inflexion point (P) and shows a convex inward of the band-shaped sheet (10A).
