In a consumable cassette detachably attached to a recording apparatus and containing a recording material and an ink sheet, a recording material storage section is constantly partially connected to an ink sheet storage section so as to be relatively displaceable in a direction in which the sections disunite from or unite with each other. The sections disunite from each other when the cassette is attached to the recording apparatus, and the sections unite with each other when the cassette is removed from the recording apparatus.
