A low price per card makes most buyers suspicious, and that is reasonable. If one supplier quotes several euros per card and another quotes two, something must differ. Usually it does, but not where people assume. This article breaks down the google review nfc card price per tier and shows which cost lines disappear when you buy blank stock in volume from inside the EU, and which ones never sat in the card at all.
The google review nfc card price at NFC BULK runs from 6.99 EUR per card when you buy 5 pieces to 2.00 EUR per card when you buy 1000 pieces, a 71% reduction. It is the same blank card in every tier. The price drops because of order volume and blank delivery, not because a cheaper chip or thinner card is used at the higher quantities.
What is the google review nfc card price?
The google review nfc card price is the amount you pay per single blank NFC card that, once linked to a Google review URL, opens that review form when a phone is tapped against it. At NFC BULK that price is set by one variable only: how many cards are in the pack you order. All eight quantities are the same product in a different pack size, not eight different cards with different specifications.
That matters when you compare quotes. A price per card is only comparable if you know the quantity behind it and whether the card arrives blank or printed. Without those two figures, two numbers next to each other say nothing.
Price per card per tier, from 5 to 1000 pieces
Below is the full published tier list, including VAT, as verified on 2026-08-28. The last column shows what you save per card against the 5-piece entry price of 6.99 EUR.
| Quantity | Order total | Price per card | Saving per card vs 6.99 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 34.95 EUR | 6.99 EUR | reference |
| 10 | 59.95 EUR | 6.00 EUR | 0.99 EUR |
| 15 | 82.95 EUR | 5.53 EUR | 1.46 EUR |
| 20 | 99.95 EUR | 5.00 EUR | 1.99 EUR |
| 50 | 199.95 EUR | 4.00 EUR | 2.99 EUR |
| 250 | 699.95 EUR | 2.80 EUR | 4.19 EUR |
| 500 | 1149.95 EUR | 2.30 EUR | 4.69 EUR |
| 1000 | 1995.00 EUR | 2.00 EUR | 4.99 EUR |

Why a cheap card is not a thinner chip
A lower price per card at 1000 pieces does not mean a downgraded chip, because it is physically the same card as the one in the 5-piece pack. Nothing is swapped out at the higher quantities.
That is worth stating plainly, because the assumption behind "cheap must be worse" is that the card itself carries most of the cost. It does not. In a blank NFC card sold in volume, the cost sits in the pack, the handling, the shipping and the stock risk far more than in the inlay. Spread those fixed costs over 1000 cards instead of 5 and the price per card falls without touching the product.
There is a hard limit to this logic, though. Volume can only remove cost that is fixed. It cannot remove the cost of the card itself, which is why the curve flattens: the step from 5 to 50 pieces takes 2.99 EUR off each card, while the step from 500 to 1000 pieces takes only 0.30 EUR off. Ordering more than you can sell to chase that last 0.30 EUR is not a saving, it is stock sitting in a drawer.
Which cost lines disappear with blank stock from the Netherlands
Three cost lines that commonly sit around a printed card order are simply absent here: artwork and logo setup, a minimum print run, and import duty plus customs handling. That is the real reason the number looks low, not the chip.
| Cost line | With printed cards per client | With blank stock from NFC BULK |
|---|---|---|
| Logo setup and artwork approval | Charged or built into the unit price, per design | Not applicable, cards ship blank |
| Minimum order quantity | A print run has a floor, often above what one business needs | Orders start at 5 pieces |
| Import duty and customs clearance | Applies when the batch comes in from outside the EU | Not applicable, shipped from the Netherlands |
| Lead time before you can sell | Waiting on proofs and production | Dispatched within 24 hours |
| Cost per extra design | A new run and a new setup | Zero, the stock is undifferentiated |
The last row is the one resellers underestimate. Blank stock is not tied to a client. If a deal falls through, the cards go to the next customer. Printed stock with someone else's logo on it is only worth something to that one business. That flexibility is a cost saving even though it never appears on an invoice.
If you are weighing up importing your own printed batch instead, the trade-off is set out in Google Review Cards Bulk on Alibaba or from the EU.
What cheap actually costs you per placement
Here is the part that decides whether the price is low enough. Take the 50-piece tier at 199.95 EUR, which is 4.00 EUR per card. Suppose you sell them on at 12.50 EUR each, an example figure and not a promise: that is 8.50 EUR gross per card before your own printing or handling, and the order is paid off once you have sold 16 cards.
Now move the same plan to 250 pieces at 699.95 EUR, which is 2.80 EUR per card. At the same example resale price of 12.50 EUR the gross per card becomes 9.70 EUR. The order is bigger, but the break-even is 56 cards out of 250, so a smaller share of the batch has to move before you are back to zero.
The useful way to read this is per placement rather than per card. A business that puts one card on the counter is a single unit sale. A business with three counters is three. Your buying price per card only becomes meaningful once you know how many cards an average customer takes, and that number decides which tier is right, not the discount percentage.
How to sanity-check a cheap quote before you buy
Check four things: the quantity behind the per-card price, whether printing is included, whether the price includes VAT, and where the shipment originates. Any quote missing one of those four is not a quote you can compare.
The origin question is the one that changes the landed cost most. A per-card figure from outside the EU is a factory-gate number. Duty, clearance and freight get added later, and the waiting time is unpaid on your side. All NFC BULK orders ship from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours, so the price you see is the price that lands. The wider argument for buying domestically is in NFC Card Wholesaler in the Netherlands: 24 Hour Dispatch.
The second check to run yourself is the cards. Test a handful on arrival before you commit a batch to a client, using the method in Hoe NFC testen voordat je een partij doorverkoopt.
Which tier should you actually buy
Buy the tier that matches what you can place within a quarter, not the one with the biggest discount. Three rough profiles:
You want to see the card first
Start with 5 pieces at 34.95 EUR, 6.99 EUR per card. It is the most expensive per card and that is fine, because you are buying a sample, not stock. Tap it, link it, show it to one customer.
You have a handful of buyers lined up
The 20 and 50-piece packs sit at 5.00 EUR and 4.00 EUR per card. This is where most first real orders land: enough stock to serve several businesses, small enough that unsold cards do not hurt.
You are selling repeatedly or rolling out multiple locations
From 250 pieces at 2.80 EUR per card the price starts to look like a wholesale cost base rather than a retail one. At 1000 pieces the card costs 2.00 EUR and 1995.00 EUR is committed up front, so only step here when you have a proven repeat channel.
The practical route through those steps, including how to build a reselling offer around blank stock, is described in How to resell NFC review cards.
Frequently asked questions
Is a cheaper google review NFC card lower quality?
No. Every quantity at NFC BULK is the same blank NFC card in a different pack size, so a card bought at 2.00 EUR in the 1000-piece tier is identical to one bought at 6.99 EUR in the 5-piece tier. The price difference comes from spreading handling, packing and shipping costs over more cards, not from changing the product.
Why is the per-card price 6.99 EUR at 5 pieces but 2.00 EUR at 1000?
Because most of the cost in a blank card order is fixed rather than per unit. Packing, handling and dispatch cost roughly the same whether the box holds 5 cards or 1000. Divided over 1000 cards those fixed costs almost vanish, which is why the price per card drops 71% across the published tier list.
Do I pay import duty when ordering blank NFC cards?
Not on an order from NFC BULK. All orders ship from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours, so there is no customs clearance step and no import duty added after the fact. That matters when comparing quotes: a per-card price from outside the EU is a factory-gate figure that still needs freight, duty and handling added.
Are there setup or logo costs on top of the card price?
No. The cards are delivered blank, so there is no artwork charge, no proof round and no minimum print run tied to one design. You print them yourself or resell them blank. The order total shown for each pack, for example 199.95 EUR for 50 cards at 4.00 EUR each, is what you pay.
Which quantity gives the best value for a first order?
For testing, 5 pieces at 34.95 EUR is enough to check the card and the tap flow. For a first stock order, the 20 and 50-piece packs at 5.00 EUR and 4.00 EUR per card are the usual choice: cheap enough per card to leave margin, small enough that leftover stock is not a problem.
