A coreless thermal transfer recording web roll 10 is formed by rolling
a
thermal transfer recording web 10a in a roll. An inner end part 11
of the thermal transfer recording web 10a of the thermal transfer
recording web roll 10 has a tab 11a formed at a substantially
middle of the inner end part 11, and sticking parts 11b formed
on the opposite sides of the tab 11a, respectively. Pseudoadhesive
double-coated tapes 14 are attached to the sticking parts 11b,
respectively. The pseudoadhesive double-coated tapes become tack-free after the
sticking parts 11b have been separated from the innermost layer of
the thermal transfer recording web 10a of the thermal transfer recording
web roll 10.
