The fact that this card is two layers is what makes it very unique and here is the reasons why:
Embossing: Anyone who has ever embossed a business card knows that the raised side looks great, but the back has an indentation, which means if you have a print there it will look ugly. You are also able to emboss 2 sides which is normally not possible.
Laser and die cutting: With this process you are able to make some truly unique layering and 3d effects. You are also able to do unique colors that can show through where the cutting area has been punched out with things like foil, spot uv or just printed designs. This makes great use of the fact that it gives a window type look.
Use die cutting or laser cutting to show through under layers back of card 1 to show a unique image design through card layer 2.
Laser cutting vs die cutting:
Die cutting is best when used for outer shapes or non intricate/larger details on the inside.
Laser cutting is best for intricate small and sharp cuts due to the precise laser points it can cut. Note on some colors there may be a slight burning of the edges but most of the time it is not noticeable.
When doing painted edges colors may bleed SLIGHTLY to the surface of the cards, this is most apparent when using dark colors
