Most people who want to buy blank NFC cards are not ready to commit to a pallet. They want to know whether the card taps properly on their own phone, whether their customers understand it, and whether anyone will actually pay for it. That question is answered with a handful of cards, not with a thousand.
NFC BULK sells one product: a blank NFC Google review card, packed in different quantities. That means you can start at five pieces, test in a week, and only move up a tier when the demand is real.
You can buy blank NFC cards online at NFC BULK from 5 pieces. A pack of 5 costs 34.95 euro, which is 6.99 euro per card, with no minimum print run and no design fee. When the cards sell, the same card costs 2.00 euro each at 1000 pieces (1995.00 euro), a 71% lower price per card. All orders ship from the Netherlands within 24 hours.
What does it mean to buy blank NFC cards from 5 pieces?
A blank NFC card is a plastic card with an unprogrammed NFC chip inside and no printing on it, so the buyer decides both what link it opens and what is printed on the surface. Buying from 5 pieces means the smallest order you can place is a five-card pack at 34.95 euro, instead of a printer's minimum run.
That matters because the two costs that normally block a small start are the print setup and the minimum quantity. With blank stock, neither applies. You program the chip yourself with your Google review link, and you print later, or not at all if you resell the cards blank. If you want the mechanics of programming, the guide on how an NFC review card works covers that step by step.
What does each quantity cost per card?
The price per card falls as the pack size grows, from 6.99 euro at 5 pieces to 2.00 euro at 1000 pieces. It is the same card in every row; only the number in the box changes.
| Quantity | Total price (incl. VAT) | Price per card |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 34.95 euro | 6.99 euro |
| 10 | 59.95 euro | 6.00 euro |
| 15 | 82.95 euro | 5.53 euro |
| 20 | 99.95 euro | 5.00 euro |
| 50 | 199.95 euro | 4.00 euro |
| 250 | 699.95 euro | 2.80 euro |
| 500 | 1149.95 euro | 2.30 euro |
| 1000 | 1995.00 euro | 2.00 euro |
The small packs sit in the starter bundles and the larger runs in the bulk bundles. A full breakdown per tier is in the wholesale pricing article, so this article stays on the test-first route.
What does a five-card test order actually tell you?
A test order answers three things: does the card work on the phones your customers carry, can you get from blank card to working review link without help, and will someone pay your asking price. Those are the only questions that justify spending 34.95 euro before you spend 1995.00 euro.
Test the hardware
Tap the card against an Android phone and against an iPhone, with the case on. Tap it while it lies flat on a counter, because that is how it will be used in a shop. Tap it after a card has been in a wallet for a week. A dead chip or a weak read shows up here, not in a product photo.
Test your own workflow
Program one card end to end and time yourself. You will need the client's review link first, which is the step most resellers underestimate; the article on finding a Google review link shortens that. If programming a single card takes you longer than you expected, that is useful information before you take on a batch for a client.
Test the sale, not the product
Keep one or two cards as demo pieces and try to sell the rest at the price you plan to charge. If a local business owner taps the card on your phone and says yes, you have a business. If three owners in a row say the price is too high, you have learned that for 34.95 euro instead of for 1995.00 euro. The reselling guide covers the pitch itself.
What does it cost you and what do you keep per tier?
At 5 pieces you buy at 6.99 euro per card, at 50 pieces at 4.00 euro, and at 1000 pieces at 2.00 euro. What you keep depends entirely on your own selling price, so the figures below are examples, not promises.
Say you sell a programmed card for 19.95 euro (example price). On the five-piece test pack you buy at 6.99 euro and keep 12.96 euro per card. Sell three of the five and the pack has paid for itself, with two cards left as demo material.
Move to the 50-piece pack at 199.95 euro and your cost drops to 4.00 euro per card. At a selling price of 14.95 euro (example, lower because you are now quoting per batch), you keep 10.95 euro per card, or 547.50 euro across 50 cards. At 1000 pieces the card costs 2.00 euro and a batch price of 9.95 euro per card (example) still leaves 7.95 euro per card. Note what happens: your selling price can drop while your margin per card grows, because your purchase price falls faster.
When should you skip the test order?
Skip the five-card pack when you already know the card works and you already have a buyer. In that case the test pack costs you money instead of saving it, because at 6.99 euro per card you pay more than three times the 2.00 euro you would pay at 1000 pieces.
Concretely, buying blank in the smallest pack makes little sense if you have a signed order for a team or a client roll-out, if you have handled NFC cards before and only need stock, or if you are printing and need enough cards to make a print run worthwhile. Then start at a tier where the per-card price is defensible. The article on choosing your first quantity goes deeper into that decision.
How do you step up without getting stuck with stock?
Step up one tier at a time and only when your previous batch is close to sold out. The jump from 34.95 euro to 199.95 euro is small enough to fund from a few sales, and the jump from 699.95 euro to 1995.00 euro should be funded by orders, not by optimism.
A practical rhythm: test with five, take the 50-piece pack as your first real stock, then move to 250 pieces at 699.95 euro once you have repeat buyers. Because everything ships from the Netherlands within 24 hours, you do not need a deep buffer to keep a client waiting-free; you can reorder as demand appears rather than pre-buying a year of stock.
What does ordering online look like?
You pick a quantity in the webshop, pay, and the order leaves the Netherlands within 24 hours. There is no quote round, no artwork approval and no tooling cost, because the cards are shipped blank and the prices in the table are the prices you pay.
That is a different model from ordering printed cards with your logo, where the run size and the design step set the timeline. If you want the trade-off between blank and pre-printed spelled out, read printing versus reselling blank before you commit to a print run.
In short
Buy blank NFC cards in the smallest pack when you still have questions, and buy deep when you have customers. Five cards at 34.95 euro is a cheap way to find out which of the two you are. The same card at 1000 pieces costs 2.00 euro, so the reward for being right is a 71% lower purchase price per card.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really order just 5 blank NFC cards?
Yes. The smallest pack at NFC BULK is 5 blank NFC cards for 34.95 euro, which works out at 6.99 euro per card. There is no minimum print run, no design fee and no approval round, because the cards ship blank and unprogrammed. It is the same card you get in the larger packs, only in a smaller quantity.
Why is the price per card higher when I buy 5 pieces?
Small packs carry the same handling and shipping work as large ones, spread over fewer cards. That is why a card costs 6.99 euro at 5 pieces and 2.00 euro at 1000 pieces, a difference of 71% per card. Treat the five-piece pack as a test cost, not as your buying price, and move up a tier once you are selling.
How fast do blank NFC cards arrive?
All orders are shipped from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours, whether you order a five-piece test pack or 1000 pieces. Transit time after that depends on your carrier and destination. Because dispatch is fast and the stock is held in the EU, you can reorder when demand appears instead of pre-buying months of stock.
What do I earn per card as a reseller?
That depends on your own selling price, since the cards are sold blank. As an example: at 50 pieces you buy at 4.00 euro per card, so a selling price of 14.95 euro leaves 10.95 euro per card, or 547.50 euro on the batch. At 1000 pieces your cost drops to 2.00 euro per card. These selling prices are examples, not promises.
