This past winter AICC Canada held its annual Design Competition for Conestoga College. The students were introduced to the Design Chal- lenge in early February with the criteria to create a unique unboxing expe- rience for a consumer. These products would be purchased and shipped through online distribution channels such as Amazon. The students had many factors to consider when they were creating their designs, such as sustainability, an environmentally friendly design and the possibility for a flow-through packaging concept that could have a secondary purpose. The design had to focus on brand representation, all while creating the Ultimate Unboxing Experience. This year’s challenge was even more remarkable for the students at Conestoga College as they were in a remote learning environment. Ev- eryone in the competition had minimal access to school resources. They resorted to designing and cutting samples on their own time, which meant weekends and late evenings. Every weekend, a student was provided two hours of model cutting time on Saturdays and Sundays throughout Feb- ruary, March, and April. The students spent many hours perfecting these designs to create their final submissions. In addition to our top three winners, there were three honorable men- tions, each of which were beautifully designed. Junggon Lee created a gift pack for Customs Canada that could be handed out at Canadian airports, border crossings or ports of entry to new visitors coming to Canada. The theme of this unique design encapsulated Canada with its national emblem, a beaver. The tail of the beaver came out of the top of the box when you pulled on the beaver’s nose and slid the bottom tray out. Junggon put a lot of thought and effort into this creation to get the tail to come out automatically. When Junggon was asked about Junggon Lee created a gift pack for Customs Canada that could be handed out at Canadian airports, border crossings or ports of entry to new visitors coming to Canada.
