Abstract
An ink cartridge is adapted to be mounted in a holder of a printer and includes: an ink containing bag which is configured in a bag shape and capable of containing a liquid in an inner portion; a flow path member having a flow path that guides the ink contained in the ink containing bag to an outside and a supply port connected to the flow path; and a containing box including a plant derived material accommodating the liquid containing bag; in which an outermost layer forming an outer surface of the ink containing bag has a shock buffering section that buffers against an impact from the outside via the containing box.
