A vacuum insulation panel manufacturing method that makes it possible to manufacture low-cost, high-performance vacuum insulation panels, and a vacuum insulation panel are provided. This method of manufacturing a vacuum insulation panel involves: a stacking step in which a first metal plate is stacked on one side of an insulating core material, and in which a backing member having an opening and a second metal plate having an evacuation port are stacked, with the opening and the evacuation port stacking, on the other surface of the core member in the order of backing member and second metal plate from the core member side; a first welding step for welding outwards of where the core member is arranged in the first metal plate and the second metal plate; an evacuating step from the evacuation port to create a vacuum in an inner area which is held between the first metal plate and the second metal plate and in which the core member is arranged; and a laser welding step in which, in a state in which the inner area is made into a vacuum by the evacuating step, the evacuation port is sealed by means of a sealing material and the sealing material, the second metal plate and the backing member are laser welded. |
