Cricut just released two new sticker printers. One that cuts precut designs and the other that cuts custom sizes. I personally would prefer the custom size option which makes me think the smaller precut shape machine will be short lived.
I watched a review on the Cricut sticker machines by Jennifer Maker and her review was quite detailed. She is also offering a giveaway of each machine that you might want to check out.
release date: September 2026
Prints precut designs on a 4×6″ sticker sheet.
release date: September 2026
Prints and cuts sticker sheets in custom sizes.
These new machines seem to be comparable to the Liene PixCut. Even the name is similar.
The Liene cut machine began on Kickstarter on September 26, 2024. It is available on Amazon.

The two custom-cut machines are nearly identical on paper: both print at 300 DPI, automatically apply a protective coating, use 4 × 7-inch proprietary sticker sheets, produce 36 prints per cartridge and kiss-cut around designs. Neither cuts completely through the sticker backing.
Approximate supply cost
- Liene custom sticker sheets: $42.99 for 72 sheets and two cartridges — about 60¢ per sheet.
- Cricut Print + Cut sticker sheets: $47.99 for 72 sheets and two cartridges — about 67¢ per sheet.
- Cricut StickerPix Print refills: $32.99 for 54 prints — about 61¢ per sheet, but you’re limited to the pre-cut shapes
My Thoughts:
If I were buying a dedicated sticker machine, I would choose the Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut because I’m already familiar with Cricut Design Space. However, I would need to consider how often I actually make stickers—and whether the convenience justifies the price and the space it would occupy in my craft room. I can already make stickers with my Cricut Maker, which also gives me the flexibility to create both kiss-cut and die-cut stickers. What do you think? Would the StickerPix Print + Cut be worth adding to your craft space? Let me know in the comments below!
