I've had bad experiences with white-label disks (PC Line from PC World are the worst I've found).
On one occasion I burned a disk with some software updates, went off-site to a classroom on the other side of Birmingham, got around half of the PCs updated, and then started getting repeated read failures. Taking the disk out of the drive, I noticed that the sliver was peeling off, allowing me to look straight through the plastic disk.
