A tape supplying body comprising:
- a tape roll on which a tape to be fed to a tape printing apparatus during a tape feeding operation is wound;
- a first member provided on a bottom surface of the tape roll;
- and
- a second member, wherein
- the second member has
- a running-onto prevention part that is provided at an upper surface of the tape roll and prevents the tape from running onto the tape roll,
- a tape receiving part that is provided on a side opposite to a side of the tape roll with respect to the first member and receives the tape dropping from the first member,
- a connection part that is provided on a radially outer side of the tape roll, faces an outer peripheral surface of the tape roll and connects the running-onto prevention part and the tape receiving part to each other,
- the running-onto prevention part, the tape receiving part and the connection part are integrated with each other as a one-piece unitary member,
- in a state in which the tape supplying body is accommodated in an accommodation body,
- the first member integrally and continuously rotates with the tape roll throughout the tape feeding operation when the tape is fed from the tape roll and the tape roll rotates, and
- the second member does not rotate when the tape roll and the first member integrally rotate with each other.
