Cricut Unveils Compact Crafters: Print, Cut, and Laminate Stickers Effortlessly

Cricut has launched its first crafting machines with printing capabilities, designed specifically as all-in-one solutions for transforming photos and other images into pre-cut stickers. The new models, the Cricut StickerPix Print plus Cut and Cricut StickerPix Print, are notable for being among the smallest in Cricut’s lineup, catering to those with limited storage space for their crafting tools.

The Cricut StickerPix Print plus Cut, which starts at $299, is the larger and pricier option of the two. It is also available as part of more expensive bundles that include additional supplies. This machine accommodates 4×7-inch sticker sheets and 4×6-inch photo paper. It employs a dye-sublimation printing process, utilizing heat instead of ink for superior color accuracy. Unlike Cricut’s larger models, this new range features a built-in lamination process, enhancing prints’ resistance to water, scratches, and fading over time.

The smaller Cricut StickerPix Print, starting at $169, retains much of the functionality of its larger counterpart but lacks cutting capabilities. Instead, it prints directly on pre-cut sticker sheets that come in shapes such as circles, rectangles, and squares, while also being capable of printing 4×6 photographs.

A key distinction between the StickerPix Print plus Cut and Cricut’s larger machines is that the new models can only cut through the top layer of prints, creating what are known as kiss-cut stickers. This allows the stickers to remain attached to a larger sheet. In contrast, Cricut’s previous machines are capable of producing die-cut stickers, which cut completely through the backing paper.
