The competition was open to all Thai universities resulting in over 360 pieces of work being submitted from all over the country. Remarkably, out of the 18 finalists, four of them were Stamford Creative Media Design students.<\/p>\n<p>Even more impressive was the final result, with Stamford\u2019s own Hailei Wang, a CMD student, winning first place at the ASPaC Awards 2019 (Japan Packaging Design). He will now represent Thailand for the final round in Tokyo, Japan, which will be held from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> to the 8<sup>th<\/sup> December 2019. Mr Hailei Wang will face fierce competition from 17 other competitors representing Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, India, England, Finland, France, Italy, Spain, America and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The competition saw a wide range of design entries including creative takes on lanterns, die kits, bite sized art and even trash can bags. The real appeal of Hailei\u2019s design comes from its blend of practical and playful. Cockroaches are a pest around the world and cockroach traps are a common feature in millions of households. So, Hailei thought, why not a bit of fun with such mundane but necessary object? \u201cThis product is actually the coffin of the cockroach,\u201d he explains. He researched burial practices around the world and came up with a variety of playful designs. What makes them so successful is that they reflect what they are \u2013 coffins \u2013 but instead of being too morbid, are actually fun.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"440\" src=\"http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-3-1024x727.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-3-1024x727.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-3-300x213.jpg 300w, http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-3-768x545.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"440\" src=\"http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-2-1024x727.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-2-1024x727.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-2-300x213.jpg 300w, http:\/\/stamford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/coffin-2-768x545.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the recent Asia Student Package Design Competition (ASPaC) Stamford CMD students triumphed.
