Ireland is a small market with a lot of small businesses: cafes, barbers, dentists, garages, gyms, holiday lets. All of them want Google reviews and almost none of them want to build the product themselves. That gap is where a reseller sits. The question is only what a blank card costs you landed in Ireland, and how long you wait for it. This article gives the full tier list for NFC cards Ireland, the margin maths, and why EU stock changes the calculation compared to ordering outside the EU.
NFC BULK sells blank NFC Google review cards to Irish resellers from 6.99 euro per card at 5 pieces down to 2.00 euro per card at 1000 pieces, all prices including VAT. Stock ships from the Netherlands and leaves within 24 hours. Because the goods move inside the EU single market, there is no customs clearance and no import duty on arrival in Ireland.
What are NFC cards for the Irish market?
An NFC card is a plastic card with an NFC chip inside that opens a web address on a phone when the phone is held against it, without an app and without a scan. For the Irish hospitality and services market that address is usually a Google review link, so a customer taps the card at the counter and lands straight on the review form for that business.
NFC BULK supplies one product: a blank NFC card. There is no logo, no print and no preset link on it. You decide what goes on the front and who the end customer is. The eight quantities in the shop are not eight different cards, they are the same card in different box sizes. The choice you make is how much stock you want to hold, not which model you want.
Tier prices for NFC cards Ireland: 6.99 down to 2.00 per card
The price per card falls as the box gets bigger. The table below is the complete tier list, including VAT, as verified in the shop on 2026-08-28.
| Quantity | Box 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 |
From 6.99 euro per card at 5 pieces to 2.00 euro per card at 1000 pieces is a 71 percent drop in unit cost. The two small tiers exist to let you hold a card in your hand before you commit; the starter bundles cover that, and the bulk bundles are where the unit price actually gets interesting.
Where the curve flattens
The steepest part of the curve sits between 20 and 250 pieces: 5.00 euro per card at 20 pieces against 2.80 euro per card at 250 pieces. After that the gain is smaller in absolute terms, 2.80 to 2.30 to 2.00 euro. If you are still testing demand in your area, the jump from a starter box to 50 pieces at 199.95 euro buys you most of the discount for a limited outlay. If you already have signed clients, 1000 pieces at 1995.00 euro is the floor price.
EU stock versus buying outside the EU: duty, VAT and waiting time
Stock that ships from the Netherlands to Ireland stays inside the EU customs union, so there is no import declaration, no duty and no broker handling fee at the border. Stock that comes from outside the EU has to be cleared on arrival, and that is where the quoted unit price and the landed unit price start to diverge.
Three things change when you source outside the single market. First, time: an overseas production run has a lead time before it even ships, while NFC BULK dispatches every order from the Netherlands within 24 hours. Second, customs: duty and import VAT are assessed on arrival in Ireland and are usually collected together with a handling charge by the carrier, so the invoice you paid the supplier is not the total cost. Third, risk: if a batch of chips does not read reliably, a return across a customs border is a different problem than a return inside the EU.
We do not publish other suppliers' figures because we do not know them. What we can say is the structural difference: with EU stock the price in the table is the price you plan your margin on, and the stock is on the road the next working day. If you want that comparison worked out in more detail, the article on buying Google review cards bulk on Alibaba or from the EU goes through it step by step.
What an Irish reseller keeps per box
Take the 250 tier as a worked example. The box costs 699.95 euro including VAT, which is 2.80 euro per card. Say you print them and sell them to local businesses at 15 euro per card. That resale figure is an example, not a promise, and what your market bears in Dublin will differ from what it bears in a rural town. On that example the gross spread is 12.20 euro per card, from which you still pay printing, packaging and postage inside Ireland.
The same example at the top tier: 1000 cards at 1995.00 euro is 2.00 euro per card, so an example resale price of 15 euro leaves 13 euro of gross spread per card. The difference between the 250 tier and the 1000 tier is 0.80 euro per card, which is worth having only if you can actually move the volume. Dead stock at 2.00 euro per card is still dead stock. A practical route is to take a mid tier first, confirm that local businesses buy, then step up. The how to resell guide covers the pricing and packaging side of that in more depth.
NFC business cards Ireland: same card, different print
NFC business cards Ireland and Google review cards are the same blank stock with different artwork and a different link behind the chip. A business card version points at a contact page, a vCard or a LinkedIn profile. A review version points at a Google review URL. Nothing about the card itself changes.
For a reseller that is useful, because one stock line serves two product lines. You can offer a solicitor or an estate agent in Dublin a tap business card and the cafe next door a review card out of the same box. There is more on positioning that second line in the piece on NFC cards for business cards.
Google review cards Ireland: where they get used
Google review cards Ireland sell best where a customer is already standing still and already happy: the payment counter, the table, the reception desk, the chair at the end of a haircut. The card is left on the counter or handed over with the receipt, the customer taps, the review form opens.
The practical selling point you use with an Irish end customer is not technology, it is friction. Typing a business name into Google Maps and scrolling to the review button takes effort; a tap does not. That is the whole pitch, and it is the reason these cards are an easy add-on for an agency that already handles a client's local listings.
Premium NFC business cards: what that actually means
Premium NFC business cards, in reseller terms, means the perceived quality comes from the print and the presentation, not from the chip. The chip in a cheap card and the chip in an expensive card do the same thing: they hold a URL. What separates a 5 euro card from a card an end customer treats as premium is the finish, the packaging and the setup service you wrap around it.
That is exactly why blank stock works for positioning at the upper end. You control the artwork, the box, the insert card with the setup instructions and the follow-up. Buying blank at 2.30 euro per card at 500 pieces and presenting it as a finished branded product is a different business from reselling someone else's printed card. Agencies doing this under their own brand will find the white label article relevant.
NFC tags Dublin: tags or cards for a city rollout
NFC tags Dublin usually refers to adhesive stickers or discs stuck to a counter, a window or a table, while a card is a loose object that can be handed over or carried. Both hold the same kind of chip and both open the same link.
For a rollout across several Dublin venues the card usually wins on resale value, because it is a product a business owner can hold, brand and place anywhere, and because it is easy to price as a physical item. Tags win where nothing may be loose, for example a fixed sticker on a pump or a shelf. NFC BULK stocks the card format only. The trade-off between the two formats is set out in NFC tags wholesale or cards.
Starting from Ireland
The sensible sequence is: order a small box, program one card, tap it on your own phone, show it to two local businesses, then buy the tier that matches the orders you get. Every order leaves the Netherlands within 24 hours and crosses no customs border on its way to Ireland, so restocking is a matter of days rather than weeks. If you have questions that this article does not answer, the questions and answers page covers the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay import duty on NFC cards Ireland orders?
No. Orders ship from the Netherlands to Ireland inside the EU single market, so there is no customs declaration, no import duty and no carrier clearance fee on arrival. The tier price you see, from 6.99 euro per card at 5 pieces to 2.00 euro per card at 1000 pieces including VAT, is the price you plan your margin on.
Can I order nfc review cards uk as well as Ireland?
The same blank stock is used for nfc review cards uk orders, but the customs position differs. Shipments to Ireland stay inside the EU, while shipments to Great Britain leave the EU customs territory and are handled as an export, so local import rules apply on arrival. All prices are quoted in euro including VAT regardless of destination.
How fast will an order reach me in Ireland?
Every order is dispatched from the Netherlands and leaves within 24 hours. Actual transit time then depends on the carrier and the route to your address in Ireland. Because there is no customs clearance step inside the EU, there is no unpredictable hold at the border, which is the main reason EU stock restocks faster than production ordered outside the EU.
Are the cards printed with my logo or my client's logo?
No. NFC BULK delivers the cards blank, with no print and no preset link. You print them yourself, have them printed locally in Ireland, or resell them blank to another party who handles the branding. That is what makes the stock usable for both review cards and business cards out of the same box.
Which tier should an Irish reseller start with?
If you have no signed clients yet, start with a starter bundle so you can hold the card and demo it. If you already have demand, 50 pieces at 199.95 euro, which is 4.00 euro per card, or 250 pieces at 699.95 euro, which is 2.80 euro per card, captures most of the volume discount without committing to 1000 pieces at 1995.00 euro.
