By the way, when attaching a printed material to be transferred to a desired position, a nail is generally placed between the release material and the material to be transferred. There is a problem in that the peeling force varies and the peeling force is large, that is, the peeling force required is large.

Further, in the case of a long product containing a long number of meters of tape, the thickness T of the release material is less than half that of the conventional product. Therefore, it becomes more difficult to peel the tape as the thickness becomes smaller. It was For example, in the conventional product, the thickness T of the release material was 60 to 80 μm and the total length was about 8 m, but when the length of the release product is about 16 m, which is about twice as long, the release material thickness T is half that of the conventional product. The thickness is reduced to 25 to 45 μm below. Therefore, although the winding length stored in the cassette can be increased, there is a problem that the separation mold material is very difficult to peel off.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention is a cassette with an adhesive surface and an adhesive surface holding device which can easily peel off the release material from the transfer material even if the tape thickness is reduced and the winding length is increased. An object is to provide a case and a tape printer.
