1. A layer transfer film cartridge, comprising:
a supply reel on which a multilayer film including a transfer layer and a supporting layer supporting the transfer layer is wound;
a supply case that houses the supply reel;
a take-up reel on which to take up the multilayer film; and
a first handle supported by the supply case or the supply reel,
wherein the first handle is supported at one of ends of the supply reel located apart from each other in a first axial direction along rotation axis of the supply reel and at one of ends of the take-up reel located apart from each other in a second axial direction along a rotation axis of the take up reel,
wherein the supply case has a flat surface extending in the first axial direction,
wherein the first handle comprises:
a first base portion extending in an inter-axial direction along a straight line connecting the rotation axis of the supply reef and the rotation axis of the take up reel;
a first supply-side leg extending from one of ends of the first base portion located apart from each other in the inter-axial direction and supported at the one of ends of the supply reel located apart from each other in the first axial direction, and
a first take-up-side leg extending from another of the ends of the first base portion located apart from each other in the inter-axial direction and supported at the one of ends of the take-up reel located apart from each other in the second axial direction, and
wherein the supply reel is located between the flat surface and the first base portion in a direction perpendicular to the first axial direction and to the inter-axial direction.
