An object is to provide a tape cartridge that enables reliable thickness detection without requiring a large space for detection target portions. A tape cartridge 100 to be mounted in a tape printing apparatus 1 whose cartridge mounting unit 5 has plural thickness detection switches 65 for detecting the thickness of the tape cartridge 100. An outer circumferential surface of a cartridge case 130 has plural detection target portions 180 to be opposed to the plural respective thickness detection switches 65. Each detection target portion has a recess 182 which extends from a source-side end in the mounting direction to a fixed position 186 as an index indicating the thickness of the cartridge case 130 and operates the associated thickness detection switch 65 so that it signals non-detection and a slide portion 188 which extends from the fixed position 186 to a destination-side end in the mounting direction and operates the associated thickness detection switch 65 so that it signals detection. |
