    Abstract: [Object] To provide a liquid container allowing improvement of its dimensional precision. [Solving Means] An ink cartridge 22 as a liquid container includes a case 23 having a case body 30 and a lid case 32, and a moving member 36 attached to a surface of a flexible ink pack 25 housed in the case 23. The moving member 36 assumes different positional attitudes inside the case 23 in accordance with the volume of the ink pack 25 that is gradually reduced as the ink therein is consumed, so as to be detected by a detector provided in a printer when the moving member 36 assumes a positional attitude indicating that the ink pack 25 has become empty of ink. The case body 30, lid case 32, and moving member 36 are molded of a material containing at least polylactic acid to achieve a low mold shrinkage rate.
