Not feeling the brush stroke in the circle in 3 tho...
2 doesn’t have enough contrast. Maybe if the background was reversed in the wrapping it could work.
Orange is a hard color to hit but #1 is it for me.

First, I would say Option #1 is my favorite with only a slight hesitation about the gradient. I think it looks really nice and should be easy to print.
Since the files are in RGB I am not certain if you have two separate colors for the gold and light tan or if the light tan is a tone of the gold color. If two separate colors then make sure that you hold both colors throughout the gradients.
What process will these be printed in? I think option #1 should be fairly easy to print in any process. If it is being printed analog you could potentially get the design down to 3 spot colors instead of CMYK, which would save decent money in printing.
I think Option #2 is too subtle and lacking the pop that Option # 1 has. Also, it has too many gradients and those are just headaches for printers lol. Option # 3 would have some bad looking traps with the orange and green if it is printed using an analog process. It is also a bit too complicated from a design point of view.

its a solid design overall, but the use of color could be money saving. I'd go so far as to think it might be able to work with two colors. like maybe instead of the gold, you screentoned orange to make it look lighter.

Yeah I'll def pick colours more carefully when they choose a colour way I usually do but I could tell u could sway them using certain gradients on certain things. Plus I wanted to really push in their head a more premium feel that they wouldn't understand without the gradient/flashiness/shine to it. Some people can look at the gold and think its yellow hence the gradient.
I really appreciate this feedback always good to have a printers eye before i finalize things that are made into physical copies. ----------
20. "Haha i was going for that premium feel" In response to Reply # 14
which both options 1-2 have I think. But yeah I do like the orange one the best.
When researching i was going for a premium. indie, coffee, hispter beer look while still have a slight older feel cleaned up with a modern look (hence why i was researching cool coffee brands/packaging)
