I think he's referring to the latter.

Heat transfer printing your label/logo directly on the shirt is also a good idea. For the small time "print-on-demand, no-minimum" shops, I'm thinking of making template full of labels/logo. Everytime there's an order, the customer's artwork will be on the top layer, so that the excess area on the paper will be printed with the label/logo. This way, you maximize the usage of your transfer paper.

To answer the question though, I prefer the "old school" woven labels since printed labels (except those used by the big brands like NIKE) is usually associated with being an inexpensive generic brand.
