I have some TYG02's that consistently burn with error rates down in the
single digits. On the printable side, on the innermost silver part of
the disk there's a mirror image of "GG000106". Opposite that is another
mirror image of "0116". These are 8x silver thermal printables that come
in a 50-pack cakebox.
TY packaging is very plain. You can see authentic TY packaging here:

I used Verbatim when I first started burning DVDs and I was genuinely
blown away when I first tested a TY DVD burn. I'm sorry your having
problems.
