Abstract:
1. A print cassette accommodating a first tape and a second tape, designed to be mounted on a print device having a printing position, wherein the first tape includes: a first base material; a to-be-printed medium; and a first adhesive layer formed of a first adhesive agent interposed between the first base material and the to-be-printed medium, the second tape includes: a second base material; and a second adhesive layer formed of a second adhesive agent applied to the second base material, the to-be-printed medium adopts a rear face of the face to which the first adhesive layer adheres as its printing surface, and a print tape is formed by discharging, from the print device, the first tape and the second tape adhered together, interposing the second adhesive layer between the first and second base layers, an adhesion force between the first adhesive layer and the to-be-printed medium is smaller than an adhesion force between the second adhesive layer and the to-be-printed medium, when the print tape is adhered to an adherend: the second adhesive layer is exposed by removing the second base material adhered to the adherend; and by removing the first base material from the adherend, the first adhesive layer is removed together with the first base material so that the to-be-printed medium is separated from the first adhesive layer while the to-be-printed medium is adhered to the adherend, interposing the second adhesive layer therebetween, and a sum of dimensions of the second adhesive layer and the to-be-printed medium adhered to the adherend, in thickness direction thereof, is smaller than a sum of dimensions of the first adhesive layer and the first base material separated from the to-be-printed medium, in a thickness direction thereof.
