Cricut launches StickerPix printers for custom sticker making
Cricut introduced two new StickerPix machines, the Print and Print + Cut, for making custom stickers and photos at home. The Print + Cut combines printing and cutting, while both use dye-sublimation and add a protective laminate. They are available now for $169 and $299, respectively, and require Cricut Design Space software.
Cricut's StickerPix line includes two sizes. The base Print measures 7.8 by 5 by 3.5 inches and handles 4-by-6-inch photo paper or Cricut's pre-cut sticker sheets. The larger Print + Cut measures 8 by 11.3 by 4.1 inches, accepts 4-by-7-inch sticker sheets and 4-by-6-inch photo paper, and adds cutting so users are not confined to pre-cut shapes.
Both devices rely on dye-sublimation, heating dye onto materials, then applying a protective laminate for water, scratch, and fade resistance. They produce kiss-cut stickers that remain on one sheet, not die-cut separated stickers. Design Space software is required, and Cricut Access may be promoted. They cost $169 and $299, are available now, and include sheets, photo paper, and ink.
Home crafters, small sellers, and gift-makers may find custom sticker production more accessible, potentially shifting some demand away from print shops or online services. Schools, clubs, and small businesses could use the machines for personalized materials, while costs, required Design Space software, and possible subscription prompts may limit broader adoption. As sticker-making moves into homes, the use and disposal of ink, paper, and laminate could also become a modest environmental consideration.
