FedEx
Reprints hang off the Ship History tab in FedEx Ship Manager, and emailed labels stay printable far longer than paper ones stay usable. The full walkthrough, with FedEx's published time windows, is in our FedEx reprint guide.
Second print, same postage
How to reprint a shipping label
Postage lives in the barcode, and the barcode lives in the purchase record — so a torn, smudged or vanished sheet of paper is a two-minute problem, not a repurchase. What differs is where each seller of labels keeps that record. The paths below cover USPS, the private carriers, marketplaces and labels bought here, with the carrier statements read on 2026-08-09.

Paper is disposable, records are not
Every legitimate reprint is a fresh copy of an existing purchase. Nothing about the shipment changes but the sheet.
USPS: history for account labels, a QR code for the rest
Click-N-Ship keeps every label a signed-in buyer has created, and usps.com describes the history screen's powers directly: “You can track, re-print, request a refund, and more.” (read 2026-08-09). Open Shipping History, find the purchase, and print the file again — the tracking number stays put.
The second postal path skips home printing altogether. Choosing the print-later option turns the purchase into a Label Broker ID, and the usps.com Label Broker page, read the same day, says to bring that QR code to a participating Post Office or a self-service kiosk, where the counter prints the physical label. Losing the paper printout matters less when the code on your phone can produce another.
The search that brings many people here — reprinting a USPS label from a tracking number — has a blunt answer: that path does not exist. A tracking number is public information visible to sender, recipient and anyone with the receipt, so USPS ties reprints to the account or the Label Broker code instead. If the label came from a marketplace or another seller, the reprint lives wherever they keep the order. Our Label Broker guide covers the counter flow in full.
The other places a label comes from
UPS
Sign back into whatever created the label — a ups.com profile, a store platform, a shipping app — and open that shipment's record. When no reprint control is offered there, treat the label as unrecoverable and use the void-and-rebuy route rather than improvising.
Marketplaces
eBay, Etsy, Poshmark and Mercari labels attach to the order page, and downloading the file again is the reprint. The order screens for each platform are mapped in our eBay and Mercari label guides.
Labels bought through SMKlog follow the same logic with less digging: checkout ends on your label page, the receipt email links straight back to that page, and printing it again from any browser produces the identical file. Nothing expires on our side while the shipment is still yours to hand over.
The two cases a reprint cannot rescue
The details are wrong
A reprint is a photocopy of the mistake. Wrong address, wrong weight, wrong service — all of it survives the second printing, so the correct move is voiding the label before the parcel ships and buying a corrected one. The published refund windows by carrier are in our voiding guide, and the shelf-life rules in label expiration.
The original already shipped
Once a barcode has moved through the network it is spent, and a spare print of it belongs in the recycling. Putting it on a new box sends that box into the system under a consumed identity — the kind of shortcut that ends with a shipment nobody can find and a bill nobody enjoys. A second parcel always gets its own label.
Reprint questions
Can I reprint a USPS label using just the tracking number?
No. A tracking number identifies the shipment but proves nothing about who bought it, so no public reprint tool hangs off it. The reprint lives in the Click-N-Ship account's Shipping History, or in a Label Broker QR code if the label was bought for counter printing. Both read on usps.com 2026-08-09.
Does reprinting a shipping label cost anything?
No. The postage was paid when the label was created and it rides the barcode, not the sheet of paper. Printing the identical file five times produces one usable shipment and four spares - the network honors the barcode once.
Where do I reprint a marketplace label from eBay or Etsy?
In the order itself. Marketplace labels attach to the sale record, so opening the order details and downloading the label again is the whole procedure. If the purchase failed or the file will not load, void it from the same screen and buy fresh.
What if the label I want to reprint has wrong information on it?
Then reprinting is the wrong tool, because the copy inherits the error. Void the label before the parcel ships and create a corrected one - carriers refund unused labels inside their published windows, which our voiding guide lays out.
