Most resellers look up an NFC business card price, see a single number and stop there. That number is only the first line of your cost sheet. What decides whether the product is worth selling is the distance between your tier price, your printing cost and the price your client accepts without arguing. This article walks that distance once, with real wholesale figures and one clearly marked example calculation at 250 and 1000 cards.
At NFC BULK the NFC business card price starts at 6.99 euro per card for 5 pieces and drops to 2.00 euro per card at 1000 pieces, a 71% lower unit cost. Add your own printing and you land near 3.30 euro per card at 250 pieces (example). Reselling at 9.95 euro (example) leaves 6.65 euro gross per card.
What does an NFC business card price actually consist of?
An NFC business card price is the sum of three things: the wholesale cost of the blank card at your order quantity, the cost of printing or personalising it, and the fulfilment cost you carry before you invoice the end client. Only the first of those three is fixed by your supplier.
That matters because the second and third items are entirely yours to control. Two resellers can buy the exact same blank card at the exact same tier price and end up with a two euro difference in landed cost per card, purely through printing choices and how they pack and ship. NFC BULK sells one product, a blank NFC Google review card, in eight pack sizes. The card does not change between quantities. Only the price per unit does.
NFC business card price per quantity
The table below is the full wholesale tier list, prices including VAT, verified on 2026-08-28.
| Quantity | Order total | 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 unit cost falls from 6.99 euro at 5 pieces to 2.00 euro at 1000 pieces, a 71% reduction. The small packs are for testing and for single-location clients, and live in the starter bundles. From 250 pieces upward you are in bulk bundles, which is where reselling starts to make financial sense. If you want the reasoning behind picking a first quantity rather than the pricing itself, that is covered in NFC Cards Bulk Order: Choosing Your First Quantity.
From purchase price to retail price: the build-up at 250 and 1000 cards
Here is the part that is usually missing. Below is a full cost-to-retail build-up for two tiers. The wholesale figures are real. Every printing and retail figure is an example, chosen to be realistic, not a quote and not a promise.
| Line | 250 cards | 1000 cards |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale cost per card (fact) | 2.80 euro | 2.00 euro |
| Printing per card (example) | 0.50 euro | 0.40 euro |
| Landed cost per card (example) | 3.30 euro | 2.40 euro |
| Your retail price per card (example) | 9.95 euro | 7.95 euro |
| Gross margin per card (example) | 6.65 euro | 5.55 euro |
| Gross margin on the full batch (example) | 1662.50 euro | 5550.00 euro |
Two things stand out. First, printing is a smaller lever than volume. Moving from the 250 tier to the 1000 tier takes 0.80 euro per card out of your cost base, which is more than most printing methods cost in total. Second, your retail price does not have to rise with your cost. In the example above the 1000-card batch is sold cheaper per card and still returns more gross margin per card than the 250-card batch, because the buying side improved.
The 250-pack sits at 699.95 euro for 250 cards and the largest pack at 1995.00 euro for 1000 cards. Whether you print at all is a separate decision with its own arithmetic, set out in NFC kaarten bedrukken: kosten en marge per oplage.
Selling blank instead of printed
If you skip printing entirely, your landed cost at 250 pieces is simply 2.80 euro per card. Selling blank means a lower retail price and a thinner margin per card, but zero setup, zero artwork rounds and no risk of a client rejecting a proof. Some agencies run both: printed for retainer clients, blank for one-off buyers who only want the hardware.
Which costs sit between your tier price and your invoice?
Beyond card and printing, four cost lines eat into the margin in the table above: payment processing on your own webshop, packaging, outbound shipping to your client, and your own time per order. None of these are supplier costs, so no supplier quotes them for you.
Time is the one most resellers ignore. Programming and testing a batch takes the same effort whether you sell at 7.95 euro or 14.95 euro, so per-card margin is not the whole story: margin per hour is. Batching orders, writing the review link once and testing a sample instead of every card keeps that number healthy. There is a testing procedure in Hoe NFC testen voordat je een partij doorverkoopt.
How do you defend your retail price to a client?
You defend it by comparing formats, not numbers. Most branded NFC card offers reach the end customer as either a one-off purchase or a recurring subscription tied to a hosted profile page. A card you sell from blank stock, pointing straight at the client's own Google review link, is a one-off purchase with no ongoing dependency.
That is a genuine argument and it costs you nothing to make. The client owns the cards, the link keeps working, and there is no monthly line on their bank statement for a piece of plastic on the counter. Where the objection is about the number rather than the model, drop from a printed card to a blank one and let the price follow. For finding and setting the link itself, see Zo vind je jouw Google review link in 2 minuten.
NFC business card cheap: where the low price comes from
The cheap end of the tier list exists because of order size, not because of a different card. Every quantity from 5 to 1000 is the same blank NFC card in a different pack size, which is why the 2.00 euro per card at 1000 pieces is not a downgrade of the 6.99 euro card at 5 pieces.
That is worth saying out loud to clients who assume a low unit price means a thinner or slower card. It also means you can safely sample small and scale up: buy a 5-pack for 34.95 euro, confirm it works with your phones and your printing method, then reorder at a tier that actually pays. All orders ship from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours, so testing before committing does not cost you weeks.
Where to buy NFC business cards for resale
Buy at the highest tier your cash flow tolerates, not the highest tier you can imagine selling. A 50-pack at 199.95 euro proves demand. The 250-pack at 699.95 euro is where the margin per card in the example table becomes worth the admin. The 1000-pack at 1995.00 euro is for resellers with repeat clients or a live shop.
Start in the starter bundles if you have no sales history yet, move to the bulk bundles once you do. The step-by-step resale route, from first pack to pricing your own offer, is laid out on the page how to resell NFC review cards.
Frequently asked questions
What is the lowest NFC business card price per unit?
The lowest unit price at NFC BULK is 2.00 euro per card, reached at the 1000-piece quantity for an order total of 1995.00 euro including VAT. That is 71% below the 6.99 euro per card you pay on a 5-piece pack. The card itself is identical at every quantity; only the price per unit changes with volume.
What margin is realistic once printing is included?
Using an example printing cost of 0.50 euro per card, a 250-piece order lands at roughly 3.30 euro per card against a wholesale price of 2.80 euro. Reselling at an example 9.95 euro leaves about 6.65 euro gross per card, or 1662.50 euro on the batch. Printing and retail figures are examples, not quotes; your own printer and market set them.
Is it cheaper to sell the cards blank?
Cheaper to buy, yes. Blank means your landed cost equals the tier price, so 2.80 euro per card at 250 pieces or 2.00 euro at 1000 pieces, with no setup, artwork rounds or proof approvals. Your retail price and margin per card drop accordingly, but so does your time per order. Many resellers offer both printed and blank.
How fast can I get stock to quote a client?
All NFC BULK orders ship from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours, so you can order a 5-piece pack at 34.95 euro, test it against your own phones and printing method, and go back to the client with a working sample quickly. Once demand is confirmed you reorder at 250 or 1000 pieces for the lower unit cost.
