Abstract

The disclosure discloses an adhesive tape cartridge including an adhesive tape roll. The adhesive tape roll winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing. The adhesive tape includes a base layer and a particle-comprising adhesive layer. The particle-comprising adhesive layer is disposed on one side of the base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive comprising large diameter particles and small diameter particles. An average particle diameter of the large diameter particles is 30 μm to 200 μm. An average particle diameter of the small diameter particles is 0.2 μm to 20 μm.
