PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably deliver and feed package blanks to be fed to a packing machine, from a hopper one by one. SOLUTION: This feeding device for performing a feeding method for package blanks is provided with suction cups 12 and a conveying unit 16 arranged below a hopper 2, the suction cups 12 are elevated to suck and deliver package blanks B one by one from the hopper 2, and the delivered package blank B is delivered to a conveying unit 16 and conveyed toward a packing machine. When the delivering and conveying operation is repeated, a compressive force in the hopper outlet direction is applied to a laminated body of the package blanks B housed in the hopper 2 by a roller 34 to be rotated while being brought into slide-contact with the side surface, and the laminate height is uniformly held. Accordingly, even if deformation such as. warping is generated on individual package blanks B, delivering by the suction cups 12 can be reliably performed.
