If you already sell NFC review cards, an NFC business card is not a new product to source. It is the same blank card with a different link written to the chip. That matters for your pricing, because buying NFC business cards wholesale means you are buying from one stock pool instead of splitting your order across two suppliers and losing tier discount on both. This article covers what one card costs per tier, what an example resale price leaves you, and why business cards usually carry a higher retail price than review cards.
With NFC business cards wholesale at NFC BULK, a blank card costs 6.99 EUR at 5 pieces and 2.00 EUR at 1000 pieces, a 71% reduction in cost per card. A 250-pack costs 699.95 EUR, which is 2.80 EUR per card. Cards arrive blank and ship from the Netherlands within 24 hours, so you decide the print, the branding and the retail price.
What is NFC business cards wholesale?
NFC business cards wholesale is buying blank NFC cards in packs at a tiered cost per card, so you can program, print and resell them under your own name instead of ordering single printed cards from a supplier at retail price. NFC BULK sells one blank card in eight pack sizes, from 5 pieces up to 1000 pieces. There is no separate business card product, no design fee and no per-card artwork step at the supplier.
The difference with a printed-card supplier is the direction of the margin. A supplier that prints one business card with one person's logo captures the design and print value. A wholesale blank leaves that value with you. You add the vCard or landing page link, the print and the delivery, and you invoice for the finished product.
Cost per NFC business card per tier
One blank NFC business card costs between 6.99 EUR and 2.00 EUR depending on pack size. Prices below include VAT and were verified in the NFC BULK shop.
The resale figures in the last two columns are an example only, based on an example retail price of 12.50 EUR per finished card. Your own price depends on your market, your print quality and whether you sell single cards or full team sets.
| Pack | Order total | Cost per card | Example resale per card | Example gross per card |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 34.95 EUR | 6.99 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 5.51 EUR (example) |
| 10 | 59.95 EUR | 6.00 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 6.50 EUR (example) |
| 15 | 82.95 EUR | 5.53 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 6.97 EUR (example) |
| 20 | 99.95 EUR | 5.00 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 7.50 EUR (example) |
| 50 | 199.95 EUR | 4.00 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 8.50 EUR (example) |
| 250 | 699.95 EUR | 2.80 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 9.70 EUR (example) |
| 500 | 1149.95 EUR | 2.30 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 10.20 EUR (example) |
| 1000 | 1995.00 EUR | 2.00 EUR | 12.50 EUR (example) | 10.50 EUR (example) |
The five-piece pack is not really a resale tier. It is a sample you use to test the chip on your own phones and to show a prospect a working card. You can order it as the 5-piece pack or browse the whole entry range under starter bundles. Everything from 50 pieces upward sits in bulk bundles, where the cost per card drops fast enough to matter on a quote.
A worked example on the 250-pack
Take the 250-piece pack at 699.95 EUR, so 2.80 EUR per card. Sold at the example price of 12.50 EUR per finished card, the full pack returns an example 3125.00 EUR in revenue and an example 2425.05 EUR gross before print, shipping and your own time. Selling 56 of those 250 cards already covers the example purchase cost, and the remaining stock is inventory you have effectively already paid for.
If you want the break-even logic and the cash flow side worked out separately, that is covered in NFC Cards Bulk Order: Choosing Your First Quantity rather than repeated here.
Why NFC business cards carry a higher retail price than review cards
NFC business cards usually sell for more per unit than review cards, even though the blank card and the wholesale cost per card are identical. The reason is who buys them and why.
A review card is bought once per counter. A business card is bought per person, so a ten-person sales team is ten cards, and a name change or a new hire is a repeat order. Business cards also sit in the personal branding budget, where a card with someone's name and photo on it is judged on looks and not only on function. That tolerates a higher price than a generic counter card.
Practical consequence for your pricing: quote business cards per person, not per box. A 20-piece pack at 99.95 EUL total, so 5.00 EUR per card, covers a mid-sized team in one order, and a team of that size rarely negotiates on the unit price of a card that carries their own name.
Selling both products from one stock pool
One blank card serves both products, which is the main operational advantage of NFC business cards wholesale. You do not forecast two products, you forecast one.
That has two effects on your numbers. First, you reach a lower tier faster. A reseller who needs 120 review cards and 130 business cards would buy two mid-size packs at a higher cost per card each; combined, that same demand fits the 250-piece tier at 2.80 EUR per card. Second, unsold stock is never dead. A card that does not sell as a business card this month goes out as a review card next month, because the difference is only the link written to the chip.
What you actually write to the chip differs per product: a review card points at a Google review link, a business card points at a vCard or a personal landing page. The step-by-step encoding is covered in NFC visitekaartje maken met een blanco kaart, and the resale workflow around it in how to resell NFC review cards.
Print, brand and packaging decisions
Business cards need a higher print standard than review cards, and that is the one cost line you should not skip in your quote. A review card lives on a counter and is judged on whether it works. A business card is handed to a client, so the finish is part of the product.
Three decisions to make before you quote:
- Print per card or per batch. Business cards are personalised, so each card is a unique print run of one. Charge per name, not per box.
- Blank resale. You can also resell the card blank and let an agency or in-house marketer handle print and encoding. Lower price, zero production work on your side.
- Packaging. A single card in a sleeve with a short instruction card reads as a product. Twenty loose cards in a poly bag reads as components.
Agencies that want the cards under their own brand and invoice line will find that angle in White Label NFC Business Cards for Agencies.
Ordering and lead time
All NFC BULK orders ship from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours. For business cards that matters more than for review cards, because you are usually waiting on the blanks before you can print names and deliver a team set on a promised date.
Practical order routine: keep a small buffer of blanks from a bulk tier so a five-person team order can be produced the same week, and reorder when the buffer drops rather than when it is empty. The 1000-piece pack at 2.00 EUR per card is the tier to move to once your monthly volume makes a buffer of that size sensible. The tier-by-tier margin picture is set out in Buy NFC Cards in Bulk: Tiers, Margins and Lead Time.
Frequently asked questions
What does one NFC business card cost wholesale?
At NFC BULK a blank NFC card costs 6.99 EUR per card in the 5-piece pack and 2.00 EUR per card in the 1000-piece pack, a 71% drop in cost per card across the range. Mid-range tiers sit between: 4.00 EUR per card at 50 pieces and 2.80 EUR per card at 250 pieces. All prices include VAT.
Are NFC business cards a different product from NFC review cards?
No. It is the same blank NFC card in both cases, sold in eight pack sizes. The difference is only the link written to the chip: a review card points at a Google review link, a business card points at a vCard or personal landing page. That means one stock pool serves both products and unsold stock is never locked to one use.
How much margin is left after print costs?
That depends on your print route, so treat any figure as your own calculation. As an example: at 250 pieces the card costs 2.80 EUR, so if you retail a finished card at an example 12.50 EUR you have an example 9.70 EUR per card to cover print, packaging, shipping and your time. Cards arrive blank, so there is no supplier design or setup fee to absorb.
Can I start small before committing to a bulk tier?
Yes. The smallest pack is 5 pieces at 34.95 EUR, so 6.99 EUR per card, which is meant for testing the chip on your own phones and demonstrating a working card to a prospect. Starter packs sit in the starter bundles category. Once you are quoting team orders, moving to 250 pieces at 2.80 EUR per card changes your margin considerably.
How fast do wholesale orders ship?
All NFC BULK orders ship from the Netherlands and leave within 24 hours. Because business cards are personalised, that lead time sets the earliest date you can start printing names. Keeping a small buffer of blanks from a bulk tier lets you promise a delivery date for a team set without waiting on inbound stock first.
