A toner cartridge includes a body having a toner outlet therein, a coupler provided on the body, and an electric contact portion for electrical connection with a printing apparatus. Based on a force applied to the electric contact portion by an elastic sealing member between the printing apparatus and the toner outlet being referred to as a first force and a force applied to the electric contact portion by rotation of the coupler being referred to as a second force, a contact surface of the electric contact portion faces between a direction of the first force and a direction of the second force.
