The picture of the bag on the Office Depot site is the same as the picture of the old poly bag on the Powecom site, the bag Powecom used before they put the sticker on. Just FYI for anyone that cares about the sticker.
Cheaper options out there for KN95 masks. Who knows which are truly 95% effective and which are not. Every list I've seen is at least 3-4 months out of date, and most manufacturers don't seem to be included. I've been using Wyze.com recently at about $2 per mask and free shipping.

Cloth masks protect others, and KN95, N95, etc. have the potential to protect the wearer as well. I think even KN95 that's been worn for days is still better for protecting others than a cloth mask. You'd think/hope that OD would sell good quality KN95's.

How have those been? I'm hesitant to purchase, but they seem a little more reputable than ones found on Newegg and the like.

I ordered some and they do not have anti fake stickers so no way to verify authenticity and they are the old packaging so who knows if they are real or not.
I ordered some they do not have an antifake sticker possiblly could have bought fake stock.
If the date of manufacture is prior to May 10th, then there won't be a sticker no matter who you buy these from--Powecom didn't start putting the stickers on until that date. There should be a small slip of paper inside the bag (may be stuck between two of the masks) with the manufacture date.

Other KN95 masks may be cheaper but almost all KN95 masks fail to meet the PFE > 95% claim after undergoing standardized testing. An example, is that some KN95 masks actually have only PFE > 70% after undergoing standardized testing.
Authentic Powecom KN95 mask did undergo standardized testing and was found to meet the PFE > 95% criteria as listed in the "Appendix A: Authorized Imported, Non-NIOSH Approved Respirators Manufactured in China (Updated: July 20, 2020)"

I've seen some stats that have the really bad masks at below 50% effectiveness. Thanks for the updated link to the approved list. I still can't find the manufacturer of my masks on either the approved or non-approved list.
Knowing how fast my family is running through these masks even though we do wear them for 4-5 uses each, I just ordered 50 from the Powecom site at $1.80 per mask, so that makes them much cheaper, and I know I'm getting masks on the approved list.

Link to their headband-style masks for those who might prefer that style (from Powecom's authorized U.S. vendor): https://bonafidemasks.c
