Most suppliers of NFC review cards sell one thing: a single printed card, with one logo, to one business owner. That is a retail product. This article is about the other side of that transaction: the wholesale product. If you want to resell nfc review cards, you are not buying a finished card, you are buying programmable blank stock at a tier price, and you decide what goes on it and what it sells for.
NFC review cards are blank NFC plastic cards that a business programs with its own Google review link, so a customer taps a phone against the card and lands directly on the review form. NFC BULK sells them only as reseller stock, in one product in eight pack sizes: 5 pieces at 6.99 per card, up to 1000 pieces at 2.00 per card. All cards ship blank from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours.
What are NFC review cards, exactly?
An NFC review card is a card-format NFC tag whose stored link points to a business's Google review page. Tapping it with an NFC-enabled phone opens that page without an app, a login or a typed URL.
That is the whole mechanism. There is no subscription behind it, no dashboard you have to keep paying for, and no software layer that can be switched off. The link sits on the chip in the card. Whoever holds the card can rewrite it, which is exactly why blank stock is a reseller product and a printed card is not. If you want the technical walkthrough of the tap itself, the article on how an NFC review card works covers it step by step.
The search terms people use around this vary: review nfc google, nfc card google review, Google tap card. They all describe the same object. As a reseller that matters, because it tells you which words to put on your own product page.
What do you actually receive in the box?
You receive one product: a blank NFC card, in the pack size you ordered. Nothing on the card, nothing programmed on the chip, no client-specific setup.
Here is the specification of what NFC BULK ships, stated plainly so you can copy the relevant parts into your own listing:
| Item | What you get |
|---|---|
| Product | One blank NFC card, sold in eight pack sizes |
| None. Cards are delivered blank | |
| Programming | None. You or your client writes the Google review link |
| Chip content on arrival | Empty and rewritable |
| Branding on the card | Yours or your client's, applied by you |
| Origin of shipment | Netherlands |
| Dispatch | Within 24 hours of the order |
| Entry price | 5 pieces at 34.95 in total, 6.99 per card |
| Lowest tier price | 1000 pieces at 1995.00 in total, 2.00 per card |
The eight quantities are not eight different cards with different features. It is the same card; only the number in the box changes. That is the point of the tier: your cost per card falls as your pack size rises, from 6.99 per card at 5 pieces to 2.00 per card at 1000 pieces, a difference of 71 percent.
What you deliberately do not get
No artwork service, no per-client logo run, no waiting on a print proof before your stock ships. That is the trade-off of the wholesale model: you take on the printing decision and keep the margin that comes with it. If you would rather sell the cards exactly as they arrive, that is a valid route too, and the comparison in printed or blank NFC cards per tier sets both options against each other.
The full price tier for nfc review cards
Every quantity has a fixed price, published up front, including VAT. There is no quote process and no negotiation step.
| Quantity | Order total | Per card |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 34.95 | 6.99 |
| 10 | 59.95 | 6.00 |
| 15 | 82.95 | 5.53 |
| 20 | 99.95 | 5.00 |
| 50 | 199.95 | 4.00 |
| 250 | 699.95 | 2.80 |
| 500 | 1149.95 | 2.30 |
| 1000 | 1995.00 | 2.00 |
The small quantities sit in the starter bundles category, the volume quantities in bulk bundles. If you already know you want the lowest cost per card, the 1000-piece pack at 2.00 per card is the bottom of the tier.
Who do you resell these cards to?
Five buyer types, and each one buys for a different reason. Knowing which one you are selling to determines your quantity and your retail price more than anything else.
The single-location business owner
A hairdresser, a garage, a dentist, a takeaway. Buys one to five cards, wants it on the counter, cares about the logo and not about the chip. This is your highest price per card and your smallest order size. Sells best face to face or through a local webshop.
The multi-location operator
A chain of six salons or a franchise with twenty branches needs one card per location, sometimes one per till. Same card, one link per branch. This buyer converts on a quote for the whole group, not on a product page.
The marketing or SEO agency
An agency already manages Google Business Profiles for its clients. Review cards are a natural add-on to an existing retainer, and they want the cards under their own brand, not yours. That is white label work; the piece on white label NFC cards goes into how that is set up.
The other reseller
Someone who wants to print and sell but does not want to hold 1000 cards. If you bought at a low tier price you can supply them in tens and twenties and still keep a spread.
The event and hospitality buyer
Hotels, restaurant groups, festival organisers. Larger counts, less concern with premium finishing, more concern with the cards arriving before a fixed date. The 24 hour dispatch from the Netherlands is what wins this deal.
What does it cost you and what is left over?
At 250 pieces you pay 699.95 in total, which is 2.80 per card. That is your entire cost of goods before printing.
Here is the arithmetic, with the retail figure clearly marked as an example and not a promise. Say you sell to single-location business owners at an example retail price of 12.50 per card. On 250 cards that is an example turnover of 3125.00 against a purchase cost of 699.95, leaving 2425.05 before printing, packaging and payment fees. Even if printing and shipping ate a third of that, the order pays for itself well before the box is empty.
The same logic at the other end of the tier: at 1000 pieces you pay 2.00 per card, so the same example retail price of 12.50 leaves 10.50 per card before costs. What changes at volume is not just the margin per card but how long the stock sits on your shelf. A 250-piece box you can sell out of in a season; 1000 cards need a pipeline. If you are unsure which side of that line you are on, choosing your first quantity works through that decision, and tiers, margins and lead time covers the break-even side.
How do you price the same card differently per buyer?
One cost price, several retail prices. The card is identical, so what you charge depends on what you wrap around it, not on what you paid.
Three packaging levels you can build from the same stock:
- Blank, sold on. No print, no setup. Lowest price, fastest fulfilment, thinnest margin. Works for other resellers and for the technically confident.
- Printed with the client's logo. Your standard product. You add design and print, you add a markup for it.
- Printed plus set up. You print the card and write the client's Google review link before shipping, so they tap it once and it works. This is where a local business will pay the most, because you removed the only part they were nervous about. Finding that link takes about two minutes, as shown in this walkthrough.
Charge as a one-off sale rather than a monthly fee if you want the sale to close quickly. The card has no recurring cost behind it, so a one-off price is easy to defend and easy for the buyer to approve.
How do you get from ordering to your first sale?
Order a pack, program one card, test it on both an Android phone and an iPhone, then print. NFC BULK dispatches every order from the Netherlands within 24 hours, so the stock is not what slows you down.
A sensible sequence for a first run:
- Order a small pack to check the tap behaviour in your own hands. The 5-piece pack at 34.95 is the cheapest way to do that.
- Write a live review link to one card and test it on two phones. The method is in how to test NFC before reselling a batch.
- Get a print sample made and check that the chip still reads through the print.
- Line up your first three buyers before you commit to a large tier.
- Step up to 50 pieces at 4.00 per card or 250 pieces at 2.80 per card once you know the print and the pitch both work.

Frequently asked questions
Are the cards printed with my logo before shipping?
No. NFC BULK delivers every card blank, with an empty and rewritable chip. You either print them yourself, have them printed locally, or resell them blank. That is what keeps the price at 2.00 per card at 1000 pieces and removes the wait for a print proof, since orders leave the Netherlands within 24 hours.
Can I order a small quantity first to test the product?
Yes. The smallest pack is 5 pieces at 34.95 in total, which is 6.99 per card. Use it to test the tap on an Android phone and an iPhone, and to run a print sample before you commit. It is the same card as in the 1000-piece pack, only the pack size and the price per card differ.
How much do I save by ordering a larger tier?
The price per card falls from 6.99 at 5 pieces to 2.00 at 1000 pieces, a reduction of 71 percent. In between, 50 pieces costs 4.00 per card, 250 pieces costs 2.80 per card and 500 pieces costs 2.30 per card. Every tier price is published up front, so you can calculate your margin before you order.
Who is the typical customer for a reseller of NFC review cards?
Single-location business owners buying one to five cards, multi-location operators needing one card per branch, marketing and SEO agencies adding cards to an existing retainer, other resellers buying in tens, and hospitality or event buyers with a fixed delivery date. Each group accepts a different retail price for the same blank card you stocked.
