Cricut StickerPix is Cricut’s new two-model line for making stickers and photo prints at home. Both machines print and add a protective laminate coating, while the higher-function Print + Cut model also precision-cuts kiss-cut stickers, turning three separate steps into one compact workflow.
Key takeaways
- StickerPix Print + Cut prints, laminates and cuts in one machine.
- StickerPix Print works with pre-cut sticker sheets and does not perform contour cutting.
- The launch expands Cricut beyond cutting machines into integrated home printing.
How the Cricut StickerPix workflow differs
Cricut announced two machines on 24 September. Its investor release says StickerPix Print + Cut can print, laminate and precision-cut a finished sheet. StickerPix Print uses pre-cut media, so it handles printing and coating but leaves the shape of each sticker predetermined by the sheet.
The distinction matters more than the similar names suggest. A built-in print engine removes the external inkjet printer required by Cricut’s conventional print-then-cut process. Automatic lamination also removes the manual alignment of a separate protective sheet. The Print + Cut model then closes the loop by cutting around the design.
That consolidation changes where errors can enter the process. A conventional setup asks users to calibrate a separate printer, move the sheet without disturbing registration, apply laminate cleanly and return the material to a cutter. An integrated machine can standardise more of those hand-offs, although buyers should still test alignment tolerance and consumable costs on the designs they make most often.
What Cricut StickerPix changes for buyers
The choice is now about finishing control. People who mainly want photo prints, labels or simple pre-cut stickers can use the Print model. Makers who need custom outlines around artwork gain the extra cutting stage in Print + Cut. Cricut says both models connect to its Design Space software, placing the new machines inside the same creative ecosystem as its cutters.
The Verge independently covered the launch. Buyers should still separate confirmed functions from output-quality claims: resolution, colour consistency, ink yield and laminate durability require hands-on testing across different media.
That measurement discipline also applies to other consumer hardware launches. Our GameSir controller report separates physical controls from promotional positioning, while our Meta Horizon Create coverage examines what a simpler creation workflow actually removes.
The practical consequence
Cricut StickerPix compresses a multi-device craft process into a guided appliance: the value is less about a new sticker format and more about eliminating printer setup, manual lamination and, on one model, separate contour cutting.
The constraint is equally clear. StickerPix makes kiss-cut stickers, where the backing sheet remains intact. Cricut’s broader cutting machines can also make die-cut pieces and work with materials beyond the new line’s printing focus. That keeps StickerPix as a specialised addition rather than a universal replacement.
