613 Originals Blog

If you walked through PPAI Expo in Las Vegas (1/13–1/15) and heard a bell ring followed by someone yelling “ORDER UP!”… there’s a good chance you found us.

This year was 613 Originals’ first time exhibiting at PPAI, and we knew we didn’t want to show up with a standard booth and a stack of brochures. We wanted to create something fun, memorable, and built to prove what we do best: helping brands and decorators bring products to life through high-impact decoration.

So we built the 613 Diner. 🛎️

After our "Hot Off the Press" food truck-inspired displays caused such a stir at Impressions Long Beach and Atlantic City, we wanted to keep the momentum going for Fort Worth. Read on to learn all about our planning process from workshopping fruit puns to building "The Fruit Stand" and more.

The fruits of our labor were well worth the effort! 😉
