Smart Pricing. No retainers. No friction.

$0.01

/ bottle

At CREI, we believe pricing should reflect partnership—not pressure. That’s why we’ve created the Growth Partner Program that eliminated high retainers and replaced them with a simple, transparent model: $0.01 per bottle produced for July 2025 batch ($0.03 regular pricing). July 2025 batch is limited to 10 new companies. As your brand scales, you unlock more advanced financial services, ensuring our support grows with your ambitions.
