Questions about Google review cards, answered (1/2)

Question 1

We run three restaurant locations and are deciding between ordering 250 or 750 blank NFC cards at once, what's the actual price difference per card between those two amounts?

Accepted Answer

There's no 750-unit tier in our staffel. The 250-pack costs 2.80 euros per card (699.95 euros), while the 500-pack costs 2.30 euros per card (1,149.95 euros). So the actual price difference is 0.50 euros per card between those two available tiers, and jumping to 1,000 units drops it further to 2 euros per card.

Question 2

I'm a nail studio owner just starting out and want to try the smallest batch first, what would 5 blank NFC cards cost me total including VAT?

Accepted Answer

5 blank NFC cards cost 34.95 euros including VAT, which works out to 6.99 euros per card. That's the smallest tier in our staffel, perfect for testing before you commit to a bigger batch like 50 or 250 units.

Question 3

As an Amazon seller I'm considering ordering 750 blank NFC cards for a product bundle, what would the total cost including VAT be and what's the effective price per unit at that quantity?

Accepted Answer

There's no exact 750-unit tier. The nearest options are 500 units at 1,149.95 euros including VAT (2.30 euros per card) or 1,000 units at 1,995 euros (2 euros per card). For a bundle around 750 units, ordering the 1,000-unit tier usually gives better value per card despite the higher total.

Question 4

I sell reputation management services to dental practices and plan to buy 300 blank cards in bulk, if I resell branded ones at 15 euros each what percentage margin am I looking at?

Accepted Answer

Using the nearest tier, 250 units cost 2.80 euros per card (699.95 euros total). Selling branded cards at 15 euros each gives a profit of 12.20 euros per card, a markup of over 435% compared to your wholesale cost.

Question 5

Our moving company franchise has multiple branches and we need enough cards for all of them, what would the total investment be for ordering 600 blank NFC cards at once?

Accepted Answer

There's no fixed tier for exactly 600 cards. The closest options are 500 pieces for 1,149.95 euro (2.30 euro per card) or 1,000 pieces for 1,995 euro (2 euro per card). For a franchise needing coverage across multiple branches and room to grow, ordering the 1,000-piece tier gives the lowest per-card cost. Reach out for a custom quote if you specifically need 600.

Question 6

I make signage for local businesses and want to know at what order size the price per NFC card drops enough that I can resell at 7 euros and still make a healthy margin, can you break that down?

Accepted Answer

At the 20-unit tier you pay 5 euros per card, so selling at 7 euros gives a 2-euro margin, 40% markup. At the 50-unit tier the cost drops to 4 euros per card, giving a 3-euro margin, 75% markup. Going bigger, like 250 units at 2.80 euros per card, pushes your margin to 4.20 euros per card, over 150% markup.

Question 7

I run an SEO agency and want to build a price sheet for clients of different sizes, can you give me the full pricing breakdown across all order quantities so I can set my own margins per client tier?

Accepted Answer

Here's the full staffel including VAT: 5 cards for 34.95 euros (6.99 euros per card), 10 for 59.95 euros (6 euros), 15 for 82.95 euros (5.53 euros), 20 for 99.95 euros (5 euros), 50 for 199.95 euros (4 euros), 250 for 699.95 euros (2.80 euros), 500 for 1,149.95 euros (2.30 euros), and 1,000 for 1,995 euros (2 euros per card). Use these as your base cost for client tiers.

Question 8

My handyman company has one van team now but we're expanding to five, is it cheaper per card to order 20 now or wait and order 100 once all teams are equipped?

Accepted Answer

At 20 units you pay 5 euros per card (99.95 euros total). There's no exact 100-unit tier, but the 50-unit tier at 4 euros per card (199.95 euros) is closer and cheaper per unit. So waiting and ordering a bigger batch once all five teams are equipped saves you money per card.

Question 9

Ik wil deze blanco NFC-kaarten doorverkopen aan een tandartsketen, werken ze zowel op iPhone als op Android zonder dat de patiënt een aparte app moet installeren?

Accepted Answer

Ja, de blanco NFC-kaarten werken via de standaard NFC-chip die iPhone en Android automatisch herkennen, zonder app te installeren. Of je nu 5 kaarten bestelt voor één praktijk of 1000 voor een hele keten, de werking is identiek: telefoon tegen de kaart houden en de browser opent direct de reviewpagina. Voor de patiënt is geen extra installatie nodig, op geen enkel toestel.

Question 10

Wij plaatsen de kaarten straks bij tien horecalocaties waar honderden gasten per dag zouden kunnen tikken, hoeveel taps houdt zo'n NFC-chip in de praktijk vol voordat de kwaliteit achteruitgaat?

Accepted Answer

De chip zelf is passief en gaat in de praktijk vele duizenden taps mee zonder kwaliteitsverlies. Of je 5 kaarten bestelt voor één zaak of 1000 voor tien horecalocaties, elke kaart kan dagelijks door honderden gasten gebruikt worden zonder dat de chip verslijt. Fysieke slijtage van de kaart zelf is eerder een aandachtspunt dan de chip.

Question 11

Als signmaker wil ik de kaarten in een balie-standaard bij de kassa plaatsen, hoe dicht moet een telefoon bij de chip komen voordat de review-pagina opent?

Accepted Answer

Een telefoon moet vrijwel tegen de kaart aan gehouden worden, NFC werkt alleen op zeer korte afstand. Dat verandert niet met de bestelgrootte, of je nu 5 of 1000 kaarten bestelt, het bereik van de chip blijft hetzelfde. Zorg dat de kaart goed zichtbaar en makkelijk bereikbaar in de balie-standaard staat, zodat klanten hun telefoon er zonder moeite tegenaan kunnen houden.

Question 12

Onze garageketen wil de kaarten jarenlang op de balies laten liggen, gaat de NFC-chip op den duur leeg of stoppen zoals een batterij?

Accepted Answer

De NFC-chip is passief en heeft geen batterij, dus hij kan niet leegraken of verslijten door tijd. Of je 5 kaarten bestelt of 1000, de chip blijft jarenlang werken zonder onderhoud. Zolang de kaart fysiek niet beschadigd raakt, blijft hij scanbaar. Voor balies die de kaarten jaren laten liggen is dit dus geen probleem.

Question 13

Een van onze klanten heeft nog een oudere iPhone 6, kan die de blanco NFC-kaart uberhaupt lezen of moeten we daar een QR-code als alternatief bij printen?

Accepted Answer

Een iPhone 6 heeft geen NFC-lezer die consumententags zonder app kan uitlezen, dus die klant kan de blanco kaart niet scannen. Een QR-code als alternatief is een verstandige aanvulling. Omdat de kaarten blanco geleverd worden, of je nu 5 of 1000 stuks bestelt, kun je zelf een sticker met QR-code toevoegen als back-up voor oudere toestellen.

Question 14

Als reputatiemanagementbureau willen wij dezelfde chip gebruiken voor meerdere klanten met verschillende Google-linkjes, kunnen wij deze blanco kaarten zelf herprogrammeren als een klant later van reviewpagina wisselt?

Accepted Answer

Herprogrammeren hangt af van het type chip, sommige zijn herschrijfbaar met een NFC-schrijf-app, andere niet. Controleer dit vooraf bij bestelling, of je nu 5 of 1000 kaarten neemt. Wil je per klant makkelijk kunnen wisselen van reviewlink, vraag dan specifiek naar een herschrijfbaar type voordat je een grotere partij bestelt.

Question 15

Onze kappersketen wil de kaarten in een metalen kaarthouder op de balie zetten, kan metaal in de buurt het NFC-signaal blokkeren waardoor klanten hem niet kunnen scannen?

Accepted Answer

Metaal kan het NFC-signaal inderdaad dempen of blokkeren, dus een metalen kaarthouder kan scannen bemoeilijken. Kies voor een houder met opening of laat de kaart net buiten het metaal uitsteken. Dit geldt voor elke bestelling, van 5 tot 1000 kaarten, de chip zelf verandert niet, maar de omgeving waarin je hem plaatst bepaalt het bereik.

Question 16

Ik overweeg dit product op te nemen in mijn assortiment relatiegeschenken, maar wat is het verschil in werking tussen deze kaarten met NFC-chip en de goedkopere kaarten met alleen een QR-code die ik nu verkoop?

Accepted Answer

NFC-kaarten openen de reviewpagina automatisch zodra de telefoon ertegenaan gehouden wordt, geen camera of app nodig. QR-codes vereisen dat de klant zijn camera opent en de code scant, een extra stap. Beide zijn te bestellen vanaf 5 stuks, maar NFC voelt voor de eindklant vaak sneller en moderner aan, wat de meerprijs vanaf 6,99 euro per kaart bij kleine aantallen verklaart.

Question 17

I'm about to resell these blank NFC cards to my first restaurant client, but where exactly in their Google Business Profile do I find the direct review link to write onto the card?

Accepted Answer

Log in op the Google Business Profile, go to the profile home screen, and look for the option to get more reviews, Google generates a short direct review link there. Copy that link and write it onto the blank card with an NFC writer app. This process is identical whether you're setting up 5 cards for one client or 1,000 for a whole chain.

Question 18

As a marketing agency setting up cards for a new client, what app or tool do I actually need on my phone to write the Google review link onto a blank NFC card?

Accepted Answer

You just need a free NFC writer app, like NFC Tools, on your phone. Open the app, choose write, paste the Google review link, then tap the blank card to save it. That's the entire setup, no extra hardware needed. It works the same whether you're programming 5 cards for one client or scaling up to 1,000 for multiple locations.

Question 19

I'm ordering a batch for ten different hairdresser branches, do I have to write a separate unique link on each card or can I set up the same review link for all of them at once?

Accepted Answer

You can absolutely write the same review link on all ten cards—there's no requirement for unique links per card. Since you're ordering for ten branches, you could use our 10-pack tier as a reference point when planning quantities. Just make sure each branch's card points to that branch's own Google listing if they have separate profiles, otherwise one shared link works fine across all ten.

Question 20

Before I hand a batch of programmed cards over to a salon owner, is there a reliable way for me to test each one myself to confirm it opens the right review page?

Accepted Answer

Yes—before handing any card to a salon, tap it with your own phone's NFC reader to confirm it opens the correct Google review page. This takes seconds per card, so even a batch of 50 cards can be checked in a few minutes. Always test after writing the link, not just after ordering. NFC BULK cards are blank on arrival, so testing is your responsibility as the reseller, not ours.

Question 21

One of my franchise locations is moving to a new Google listing next month, can I update the link on the NFC card they already have or do they need a brand new one?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can simply rewrite the NFC chip with the new listing's link—no need for a brand-new card. Whether you originally bought a batch of 5 or 1000, the chip stays reusable as long as it isn't locked. Just overwrite the URL with any standard NFC writing app, test it once, and hand it back to the franchise location. No reorder needed for a simple link change.

Question 22

If I sell these blank cards on to smaller webshop customers who will program them themselves, what simple instructions should I give them to set up their own Google review link correctly?

Accepted Answer

Tell your webshop customers to download a free NFC writing app, copy their Google review link, and write it directly onto the blank card—then tap to test before using it. This works the same whether they bought 5 cards or 1000. Remind them the chip is rewritable, so they can update the link later if their listing changes. No special hardware needed beyond a smartphone.

Question 23

A garage client of mine already has a card working fine, but now wants to switch to a shorter review link, is reprogramming something I can do on the spot during a visit or does it need special equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, reprogramming is quick and needs no special equipment—just a smartphone with an NFC writing app. You can overwrite the shorter link on the spot during your visit in seconds. This works the same for a single card or a full batch of 500. Just test the new link immediately after writing to confirm it opens correctly before you leave the client's counter.

Question 24

I'm exploring whether to offer these as a service to dental practices, once a card is written with a review link, is that process something I can realistically do myself in bulk or does it require technical help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, writing a review link onto a blank card is simple enough to do yourself at scale—no technical help required. With basic NFC writing apps, you can program a batch of 250 cards in an afternoon. It's the same process whether you're doing 5 cards or 1000, just repeated. No specialized hardware is needed beyond a phone or NFC writer/reader.

Question 25

My garage client wants to put a sign next to the NFC card saying customers get a free car wash for leaving a 5-star review, can I let them do that or should I warn them first?

Accepted Answer

Warn them first—that's a reward tied to leaving a review, which violates Google's policies and risks the listing getting reviews removed or flagged. This applies no matter if they've got a single card or bought in our 500-pack. Suggest they offer the free car wash to everyone who visits instead, unconditionally, so the review itself isn't the trigger for the reward.

Question 26

My cleaning company client asks every customer to scan the NFC card at the end of a job, but wants to remove it if the customer seems dissatisfied, is that a violation I should warn them about before they roll it out to all their teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes, warn them before rollout—removing the card selectively based on how happy the customer seemed is exactly the kind of biased review request Google flags. This applies whether one team uses 5 cards or the whole company scales to 500. The fix is simple: every customer gets the same tap opportunity, regardless of how the job went, so the review pool stays unbiased.

Question 27

I want to resell these NFC cards to a dental practice that plans to offer a small discount to patients who leave a Google review, is that actually allowed under Google's policy or could it get their profile flagged?

Accepted Answer

That's a real risk—Google's guidelines prohibit incentivizing reviews, including discounts tied to leaving one, and profiles caught doing this can get reviews removed or flagged. Whether the practice buys 5 cards or 1000, the card itself is neutral; it's how they use it that matters. Advise them to ask for honest feedback without conditions attached, to avoid Google penalizing their listing over an incentive scheme.

Question 28

One of my restaurant clients only wants to hand the NFC card to customers who seemed happy during their visit, is selectively asking certain people for reviews against Google's guidelines?

Accepted Answer

Selectively handing the card only to happy-looking customers does raise a red flag with Google—reviews should be requested consistently across all customers, not filtered by mood. This kind of selective ask can look like manipulation over time. Whether your client has 5 cards on hand or ordered 1000, the same rule applies: consistent, unbiased requests protect the profile far better than cherry-picking who gets asked.

Question 29

As a marketing agency, if I set up the NFC card so it also shows a pop-up asking unhappy customers to contact the business privately instead of leaving a public review, is that considered review gating and risky for my client?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that setup can be considered review gating, which Google explicitly discourages—directing unhappy customers away from public review while letting happy ones proceed skews the visible rating. It's risky regardless of whether you deploy 5 cards or 1000 across locations. A safer approach is sending everyone to the same review flow and handling complaints separately, not through the NFC card's pop-up itself.

Question 30

I supply reputation management services to hair salons, is it fine if the salon staff verbally asks every single customer to tap the NFC card and leave a review, or does that count as manipulating review volume?

Accepted Answer

Verbally asking every customer is fine—Google allows requesting reviews as long as it's not selective or incentivized. Doing this consistently, whether for a salon with 5 cards on the counter or a chain running 1000 across locations, is normal practice, not manipulation. The concern only arises if staff ask some customers and skip others, or offer rewards tied to leaving a review.

Question 31

I'm about to sell a batch of blank NFC cards to a physiotherapy clinic, should I tell them not to ask patients to mention specific treatments or staff names in their reviews to stay within Google's rules?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's smart practice, though it's not strictly a Google rule—it's more about the review sounding natural rather than reading like a template with treatment or staff names inserted. Whether the clinic buys 5 cards or a 1000-card batch, tell them to just ask patients to describe their honest experience in their own words, without prompting specific details that could look coached.

Question 32

A franchise client of mine wants every branch to use the same NFC card programmed with a review link, but have their own staff members remind customers by name, could this pattern look suspicious to Google's spam detection?

Accepted Answer

Not inherently—using the same NFC card design with personalized staff reminders across branches is a normal, human pattern, not something that typically triggers spam detection. Google's systems look more for incentivized or fake review clusters, not staff following the same friendly process across a franchise of, say, 10 locations. As long as each review is genuine and unprompted by reward, this setup is fine.

Question 33

My restaurant chain client wants table tent QR stickers because they're cheaper than NFC cards, how do I explain to them why the slightly higher cost of blank NFC cards in bulk could still be the better investment?

Accepted Answer

Explain that the per-card cost drops sharply at volume—for example, our 250-pack works out to 2.80 euro per card versus higher costs at small quantities—so the gap with QR stickers narrows fast at scale.

Question 34

I currently sell printed QR stickers to my restaurant clients but customers barely scan them, would switching to blank NFC cards actually get more people to tap and leave a review, and is that worth reselling instead?

Accepted Answer

NFC cards generally get better tap rates than printed QR stickers because customers don't need to open a camera app—one tap does it. It's worth testing on a small scale first, like our 20-card tier, before committing further. Reselling blank NFC cards instead of QR stickers is a reasonable move if your restaurant clients are struggling with low QR engagement, since the friction is genuinely lower.

Question 35

As a signmaker, my client currently just has a printed sign asking guests to leave a Google review, is it worth me proposing they add NFC cards instead, and what's the actual difference in how customers respond?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's worth proposing—NFC cards remove the extra step of opening a camera and scanning, guests just tap and the review page opens directly, which tends to reduce drop-off compared to a printed sign alone. Start your client with a small batch, like 15 cards, to test the response at the counter. The real difference is friction: fewer steps generally means more completed reviews.

Question 36

My hair salon client just has staff verbally ask every customer to leave a Google review, but I want to pitch them on NFC cards instead, what's the real advantage of a physical card over just asking out loud?

Accepted Answer

The advantage is consistency and lower friction—staff asking verbally depends on memory and mood, while a physical card is a quiet nudge simply sitting at the counter every single time. It also feels less pressured to the customer than a verbal ask. Suggest a small trial of 10 cards for your salon client to compare how many taps result in reviews versus verbal-only requests.

Question 37

I'm deciding whether to keep offering my dental practice clients a simple QR code standee at the front desk or start reselling blank NFC cards, which one actually gets tapped more by patients waiting to check out?

Accepted Answer

NFC cards typically get tapped more than QR standees because there's no need to open a camera app first—the phone just needs to be near the card. Test this by placing one NFC card, from a 5-pack for example, at the front desk alongside the existing QR standee for a few weeks and compare taps. Lower friction generally means better response at checkout.

Question 38

As a reputation management agency, if I want to convince a garage client to switch from a printed QR card on the counter to blank NFC cards I'll brand for them, what should I tell them about why NFC performs better with older or less tech-savvy customers?

Accepted Answer

Tell them NFC removes the need to aim a camera and align a QR code, which matters a lot for older or less tech-savvy customers who often struggle with scanning apps. A simple tap is far more forgiving. Suggest starting with a 20-card batch to brand and place at the counter, then compare tap rates against the old printed QR card over the first month.

Question 39

I'm a marketing agency pitching a beauty salon chain and need to explain why a physical NFC card placed near the register beats just having a QR code taped to the mirror in each treatment room, what's the practical difference for them?

Accepted Answer

A card at the register catches the customer right when the experience is fresh, one tap opens the review page instantly, no typing a URL or aiming a camera at a small QR sticker in a dimly lit treatment room. Whether you're ordering 5 or 1,000 cards, that convenience stays consistent and tends to convert better into completed reviews than a taped QR code.

Question 40

I supply relationship gifts to franchise clients and one is asking whether a QR code printed directly on the receipt works just as well as a separate NFC card, what would I honestly tell them?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, a QR code on the receipt can work, but it depends on the customer noticing and bothering to scan it after they've already paid and are ready to leave—engagement tends to be lower at that moment. A dedicated NFC card, like our 5-pack, placed prominently near the register usually gets more attention because it's an active touchpoint, not something buried on paper.

Question 41

I run a dental practice reputation management service and want to set honest expectations with a new client, what's a realistic first-month review count they should expect from one NFC card at the front desk, and what would be overpromising?

Accepted Answer

There's no guaranteed number, a realistic first month could be a handful of extra reviews if front desk staff consistently hand over the card, but claiming a fixed count would be overpromising. Start with a small test batch, 5 or 10 cards for one location, priced from 6.99 euro per card, before setting expectations across multiple practices or ordering a larger 250-piece batch.

Question 42

I'm a cleaning company owner planning to hand the card to every customer after a job, if I do this consistently for a month, is it realistic to expect double the reviews I currently have, or is that too optimistic?

Accepted Answer

Doubling reviews in a month isn't something we can promise, it depends on how consistently the card gets handed over and how many jobs you do. A realistic approach is to start with a small batch, 5 cards at 34.95 euro, track results for a month, then scale toward the 50-piece tier at 4 euro per card if the trend looks strong.

Question 43

I'm about to pitch blank NFC cards to a restaurant client who currently gets maybe 2 Google reviews a month, realistically how many more reviews per month can they expect once staff start handing the card to guests at checkout?

Accepted Answer

We can't guarantee a specific review increase, that depends on how consistently staff hand over the card, not the card itself. What we can say is the cost per card drops from 6.99 euro at 5 pieces to 2 euro at 1,000, so testing with a small batch of 5 or 10 first is a low-risk way to measure real impact before scaling up.

Question 44

As a franchise consultant, if one branch places the NFC card on the counter and another has staff actively ask customers to tap it, how big a difference in review results should I expect between those two approaches?

Accepted Answer

We can't promise an exact difference, results depend on staff behavior, not the card design. In general, active prompting tends to outperform a passive card on the counter, but there's no guaranteed multiplier. Start small, 5 or 10 cards per branch, compare results between passive and active approaches, then scale toward the 250 or 1,000 tier once you see what works.

Question 45

My hair salon client only serves about 15 customers a day and wants to know before ordering how quickly they'd realistically notice a visible increase in Google reviews after starting to use the card.

Accepted Answer

With about 15 customers a day, noticeable change usually takes a few weeks of consistent use, not days. There's no guaranteed timeline. Start with a small order, 5 cards for 34.95 euro, to test in one salon before deciding whether to scale to a 50-piece batch at 4 euro per card for a chain-wide rollout.

Question 46

As a marketing agency reselling these cards, what should I tell a skeptical car dealership owner is realistically achievable versus what sounds like an exaggerated sales pitch when it comes to review growth from NFC cards?

Accepted Answer

Tell them realistically it depends entirely on staff consistently presenting the card, not the card itself, so promising a guaranteed number of new reviews would be an exaggerated claim. What's achievable: a low-cost test, 5 cards for 34.95 euro, to see real results at one dealership location before committing to a larger 250 or 500-piece order across the group.

Question 47

I supply reputation management services to garage chains and want to know if there's a typical pattern, like most new reviews coming in within the first two weeks after cards are placed, or is it usually a slow steady trickle?

Accepted Answer

There's no guaranteed pattern, results vary by business and staff consistency, so we can't promise a two-week spike versus a steady trickle. What we can offer is a low-risk way to test: order 5 cards for 34.95 euro at one location, track review timing yourself, then decide whether to scale toward the 250 or 500-piece tier for the rest of the chain.

Question 48

As a webshop owner planning to resell these blank cards to small business customers, what honest claim can I put in my product description about expected review growth without overselling something I can't back up?

Accepted Answer

An honest claim is that the card makes leaving a review faster and easier for customers, not that it guarantees a specific number of new reviews. You can mention the cost drops from 6.99 euro per card at 5 pieces to 2 euro at 1,000, letting buyers scale affordably, but avoid promising guaranteed review growth, that depends on how the business uses the card.

Question 49

I run a print shop and I'm considering ordering a batch of these blank NFC cards, do they arrive completely free of any supplier branding so I can print my own logo and sell them fully white label to my clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the cards ship completely blank with no supplier branding at all, whether you order 5 for 34.95 euro or 1,000 for 1,995 euro. That means you can print your own logo and design directly onto the card and resell it fully white label to your clients without any trace of our brand on it.

Question 50

I'm building a price sheet for my agency's clients and want to confirm, since these cards come blank without any printing included, does that mean the bulk price itself already reflects the 71% discount without extra setup fees for design work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the bulk price already reflects the full discount on the blank card itself, regardless of what design or printing you apply afterward. Whether you order 5 pieces at 6.99 euro each or 1,000 at 2 euro each, the price is for the blank NFC card only, any personalization or printing costs are separate and depend on your own printing method.

Question 51

We're a franchise organization with ten branches and want to order 1000 blank cards together to get the lowest unit price, then have each location print its own logo locally, does ordering as one batch actually get us that lowest tier price even though each branch will brand differently?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ordering 1,000 cards together as one batch qualifies for the €1,995 tier (€2.00 per card), since pricing is based on the total quantity ordered, not on how or where the branding happens afterward. Each branch can still print its own logo locally once the cards arrive. Splitting the order into ten smaller batches would push you into a higher per-card price tier.

Question 52

As a marketing agency setting up a new client's cards, what printing techniques do other resellers typically use to add full-color designs onto these blank NFC cards, since they don't come pre-printed?

Accepted Answer

Since the cards ship blank, resellers typically add designs afterward using UV printing, direct-to-card digital printing, or printed vinyl stickers applied over the card surface. This applies whether you're working with a small test batch of 5 cards or a larger 250-piece order, we only supply the blank NFC card itself, personalization happens on your end or through your printer.

Question 53

I make signage and want to laser-engrave a client's logo directly onto the surface of the blank NFC card, is that safe to do without damaging the chip inside?

Accepted Answer

We can't confirm that's safe, laser engraving generates heat and pressure that could damage the embedded chip depending on where it sits inside the card. Since cards ship blank from 5 up to 1,000 stuks, we'd recommend testing on a single card first before running a full batch through your laser, rather than risking an entire 250-piece order.

Question 54

I supply corporate gift items and want to order 300 blank cards so my local printer can add each client's logo individually, are all the cards exactly the same standard size and shape so we only need to create one print template?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all NFC BULK cards are the same standard size and shape, so one print template works across the whole batch. For 300 cards you can combine tiers, for example two orders of 250 at €699.95 each plus one 50-pack at €199.95, giving you 300 identical blank cards. Your local printer only needs to design the template once and adjust each client's logo per batch.

Question 55

I already print plastic cards for clients using a dye-sublimation card printer, can I safely run these blank NFC cards through that same machine or does the embedded chip risk getting damaged during printing?

Accepted Answer

Running blank NFC cards through a dye-sublimation card printer isn't something we'd recommend: the heat and pressure involved can damage the embedded chip sitting near the surface. It's safer to print separately, for example via label or sticker application, rather than feeding them through your existing plastic card printer. Even the smaller 15-card tier at €5.53 per card leaves enough margin to use a safer printing method.

Question 56

I run a dropshipping webshop and want to resell these blank cards to customers who plan to print their own design at home with an inkjet sticker, is that actually a workable way to brand them or should I be recommending professional printing instead?

Accepted Answer

Home inkjet stickers are workable for testing a design, but they wear out fast, peel easily, and look less professional for resale. We'd recommend professional printing once you're selling to real customers. At 250 cards for €699.95 (€2.80 per card), the cost is low enough to have them printed properly, which protects your brand better than telling customers to DIY it at home.

Question 57

I run a one-person marketing consultancy and want to start reselling these cards without holding much stock, what's the smallest order size that still gets me a meaningful discount over the base price?

Accepted Answer

The 20-piece tier is your best entry point. At 99.95 euro that's 5 euro per card, already a solid step down from the 6.99 euro per card you'd pay at 5 units. It keeps your upfront investment low for a one-person consultancy while still giving you real margin room to test resale pricing before committing to a bigger batch like 50 or 250 units.

Question 58

I'm about to place my first order to resell to local businesses in my area, do you ship fast enough from the Netherlands that I could receive a batch and get it into my first client's hands within the same week?

Accepted Answer

Yes, orders ship from the Netherlands within 24 hours of placing them, so a batch ordered early in the week easily reaches you and then your client within the same week. Whether you order 5 cards or 500, that 24-hour dispatch time is the same, so your only real variable is the transit time to your address after it leaves the warehouse.

Question 59

As a signmaker exploring this as an extra revenue stream, would it make more sense to buy a mid-size batch of 200 cards to test resale demand first, or go straight for the 1000-unit tier to lock in the lowest cost per card?

Accepted Answer

Test with a mid-size batch first, since demand is unproven. There's no 200-unit tier exactly, but 250 units at 699.95 euro (2.8 euro per card) is a reasonable middle ground to validate resale interest. Jumping straight to 1000 units at 2 euro per card locks in the lowest cost, but ties up 1,995 euro in stock before you know if signmaking clients actually want NFC cards.

Question 60

I'm a freelance graphic designer thinking about adding NFC review cards as a side offer to my existing clients, what markup would be reasonable if I buy blank cards in bulk and handle the printing myself?

Accepted Answer

A reasonable markup depends on volume. Buying 1,000 blank cards at €2.00 each and reselling printed cards at a market price leaves a wide margin once printing costs are added. At smaller volumes, like 50 cards at €4.00 each, your per-card cost is higher but still low enough to build in solid margin. As your side offer grows, scaling into bigger tiers keeps unit cost down and margin up.
