Abstract
A tape cassette includes: a tape roll which is a roll of a tape wound about an axis extending in a first direction; and a nipping member configured to nip the tape conveyed in a second direction in cooperation with a conveying roller of a printing device. The nipping member includes: a first region configured to face one end portion of the tape; a second region configured to face another end portion of the tape; and a third region positioned between the first region and the second region. The first region and an imaginary reference surface provide a first length in a third direction. The second region and the imaginary reference surface provide a second length in the third direction. The third region and the imaginary reference surface provide a third length in the third direction. The third length is greater than the first length and the second length.
