Abstract
A tape cartridge includes: a tape-like member including a tape body having a first edge located in a first direction, which is one side in a width direction of the tape body, and a detection projection portion projecting in the first direction from the first edge so as to be detected by the detecting portion and having a detection end at an end thereof in the first direction; a guide portion that guides feeding of the tape-like member such that the tape-like member curves along a peripheral surface of a platen roller for feeding the tape-like member; and a contact portion that makes contact with the detection end at a position where the tape-like member curves along the peripheral surface of the platen roller.
