PURPOSE:To ensure the protection of transferred patterns and the like by protective layers by providing a plurality of protective layers on a transfer film between a base film and a printing layer forming patterns and the like. CONSTITUTION:In a thermal transfer film 32, two protective layers 34, 35 are provided on a base film 33 of polyethylene. An ink layer 36 is formed under the protective layers 34, 35, and an adhesive layer 37 is formed under the ink layer 36. In the transfer, an upper half 11 is disposed on a base 40, and the thermal transfer film 32 payed out from a roll is led onto the half 11 to be correctly positioned. Then, a transfer pad 42 is lowered, and the thermal transfer film 32 is heated. In this manner, the thermal transfer film 32 is bonded on a main surface 28 of a cassette casing 10. After the adhesion, the base film 33 is released, whereby the printing layer 36 is transferred to the main surface 28 of the cassette casing 10 to form a pattern. By providing the two protective layers 34, 35, reliability is improved. |
