It can, provided the label was created under a UPS profile: Shipment History on ups.com holds 90 days of shipments and reprints any of them. A UPS label bought through a marketplace or a shipping site lives with that seller instead. Both routes are laid out below, per ups.com pages read 2026-08-09.
The paid postage sits in the shipment record. Losing the printout loses nothing as long as the file or the history entry survives.
UPS puts it plainly on its label support page: “You can reprint a shipping label online by logging in to your UPS profile, making it easy to get another copy if your original label is lost or damaged.” Read 2026-08-09. The click path it lists:
| Step | What UPS says to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the View Shipping History app on ups.com and log in |
| 2 | In the Shipment History window, choose the package whose label you need again |
| 3 | On the Printing Activities tab, select labels, then the label type to print |
| 4 | With more than one label printer set up, pick the printer in the pop-up |
The window is generous but finite. UPS's profile page states you can look back 90 days across your shipments, and from the same history void a shipment, access a receipt, or reprint a label. A label past that horizon is gone from the site, which mostly matters for return labels that recipients sit on for months.
Shipment History shows what was created under your profile. A UPS label bought on eBay, through another marketplace, or from a shipping site was created under that platform's arrangement with the carrier — ups.com cannot see it, and the counter clerk cannot conjure it from a tracking number. The reprint lives where the purchase did.
Every label bought online arrived as a file — in a download, an email, or both. Print that file again at 100 percent scale and the job is done. The barcode is identical on every copy, so the network cannot tell a first print from a fifth.
Marketplaces and label sites keep bought labels against the order for a while. On eBay the download link lasts 7 days; our eBay reprint guide maps that flow. A label bought through SMKlog is a PDF with a download button on the checkout, and the same checkout can email you the link to keep.
A second label means a second tracking number and a second charge, and a box wearing both gets scanned into two shipments at once. When the first label is genuinely unrecoverable, void or cancel it where you bought it, then start clean.
A reprint fails for print reasons, not postage reasons. Check the sheet before taping: every bar of the barcode present, no toner banding through it, no scaling. Cover the label with clear tape only across the edges — a strip across the bars adds glare that handheld scanners hate. An address block you can read at arm's length is the cheap test that the barcode printed dense enough. More on paper choices in the plain-paper guide and on hardware in the thermal printer guide.
Yes, when the label was created on ups.com. UPS says you can reprint a shipping label online by logging in to your UPS profile, opening Shipment History, and picking the label from the Printing Activities tab (ups.com, read 2026-08-09).
UPS states you can look back 90 days to see all scheduled shipments, and from there void a shipment, access a receipt, or reprint a label. Older shipments fall off the list, so reprint sooner rather than later.
No. A reprint is the same label on a new sheet: same barcode, same tracking number, same paid postage. Only creating a brand-new shipment produces a new number, and that costs money and confuses scans.
The place that sold it. UPS Shipping History only lists shipments created under your UPS profile. A UPS label from a marketplace or a shipping site is a PDF that the seller platform or site keeps; open the original file or download it again from that account and print.
There is no honest reason to. Once the barcode has entered the network, printing the same label again invites a second box moving under one tracking number, which strands both. If the original box lost its label in transit, that is a claim, not a reprint.
UPS reworks its site tools periodically and app names drift. The steps above are what the two pages published on the date shown.
