Summary:To provide one form of a developer container and an image forming system.SOLUTION: A developer container comprises a pouch, a communication member, and a cap. A sign part having an arrow head part and a parting line are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the cap. When a reference position is defined as a position on the outer peripheral surface of the cap corresponding to a position in a second direction being the width direction of the pouch where the thickness of the pouch in a third direction being the thickness direction of the pouch becomes maximum before the cap is removed from the communication member, at least an end face of a rear end of the arrow head part is arranged in an area from a first position that is moved from the reference position toward the upstream in a rotation direction by 45° to a second position that is moved from the reference position toward the downstream in the rotation direction by 45°, with the axis of rotation of the cap as the center of rotation along the outer peripheral surface of the cap, and the parting line is arranged to overlap with the end face.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 21 【課題】 現像剤容器および画像形成システムの一形態を提供する。【解決手段】 現像剤容器は、パウチと、連通部材と、キャップとを備え、キャップの外周面には、アローヘッド部を有する標識部と、パーティングラインと、が形成されており、キャップが連通部材から取り外される前の状態で、パウチの厚み方向である第3方向におけるパウチの厚みが最大となる、パウチの幅方向である第2方向における位置に対応したキャップの外周面上の位置を基準位置としたとき、キャップの外周面に沿って、キャップの回転軸を回転中心に、基準位置に対して回転方向の上流側45°移動した第1位置から、回転方向の下流側45°移動した第2位置までの領域に、少なくともアローヘッド部の後端の端面が配置され、且つ、パーティングラインが該端面と重なるように配置されている。【選択図】 図21
