A toner cartridge comprises a container (4) having a toner discharge opening (16) formed therein, and an external member (6) combined with the container (4) so as to be relatively movable between a closed position at which the external member (6) closes the toner discharge opening (16) and an open position at which the external member (6) uncovers the toner discharge opening (16). A compressible seal member (32) extending along the peripheral edge of the toner discharge opening (16) is disposed on the outer surface of the container (4). The seal member (32) is compressed between the outer surface of the container (4) and the inner surface of the external member (6). The seal member (32) has a surface layer of cloth (40). A toner leakage preventing tape (54) is stuck to a required site of the inner surface of the external member (6). The surface of the toner leakage preventing tape (54) is non-adherent and has a coefficient of static friction mu o, against a glazing surface, of 3.5 to 4.5, preferably 3.8 to 4.2. <IMAGE> |
