Cricut launches Cricut Joy Xtra, expanding its platform and cutting machine portfolio

Cricut introduces a new compact cutting machine designed to make popular projects

Cricut, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRCT), the leading creative DIY platform, today announced its newest cutting machine — Cricut Joy Xtra. Designed to help makers create the most popular projects, like full-color stickers, custom cards, and t-shirts, this new cutting machine works with more than 50 materials with the precision and quality known of the Cricut brand. With its compact size, Cricut Joy Xtra was designed to fit in any space, no craft room required.

Powered by Cricut Design Space, the design platform where millions of users discover, create, customize, and share projects, all Cricut cutting machines empower users to personalize and DIY. The addition of Cricut Joy Xtra to the product portfolio creates opportunities to expand the design platform for all machines, like the introduction of “Create Sticker” coming in late 2023 — a new feature for paid Cricut Access subscribers allowing makers to easily design professional-looking, full-color stickers.

“Our mission with the Cricut platform is to inspire and empower makers,” said Ashish Arora, Cricut CEO. “We have more than eight million members who discover, make, and share their creations with one another, and they bring their designs to life through our platform with innovations like Create Sticker.”

Along with platform expansion, Cricut Joy Xtra adds extra making power thanks to a wider cutting area, up to 8.5 inch wide, compared to 5.5 inch with Cricut Joy. It also includes Print Then Cut capability, a highly sought-after function that allows makers to create full-colored stickers rather than single-color decals.

“We knew there was a need for a feature-rich machine in a more compact size,” said Michelle Fishberg, Cricut VP of Global Product Management. “Cricut Joy Xtra was created to make our most beloved projects — custom t-shirts, full-color stickers, and more — in just a few easy steps, even for those who don’t have a lot of space to devote to making.”

With the launch of Cricut Joy Xtra comes new and improved materials for all Cricut machines, including Printable Waterproof Sticker Sets, Printable Iron-On, Prismatic Glitter Smart Iron-On, Printable Sticker Paper, and Printable Vinyl. A variety of new accessories and materials made specifically for Cricut Joy Xtra will also be available at launch.

Beginning on September 7, 2023, Cricut Joy Xtra will be available for $199 on Cricut.com and at many retailers where Cricut is sold. New materials and accessories are sold separately.

Key features of Cricut Joy Xtra:

  • Expanded project capabilities – Make projects up to 8.5 inches x 11 inches on a machine mat and up to 4 feet long with Smart Materials. With Cricut Joy Xtra, make a wide range of personalized projects in minutes like stickers, t-shirts, labels, vinyl decals, and gift tags.
  • Print Then Cut – Precisely cut around images printed by your inkjet printer to create full-color stickers and more.
