- Short answer
- Yes — include only some items in each label and the rest stays unfulfilled for its own label; up to 100 labels print at once.
- One label for several boxes
- No Shopify page we checked allows one label or tracking number covering several boxes.
- Order split by location, item type or pickup
- Fulfilling part of the order isn't optional, though you might be able to merge some fulfillments first.
- Shopify mobile app
- Buys labels, but can't split or merge a fulfillment.
- Batch limits
- Print up to 100 labels at once; void up to 250 at once.
- Managed Markets orders
- Each shipment needs its own label and tracking number; one label for packages strapped together is prohibited.
How do you buy a second Shopify label for the same order?
To ship one order in multiple packages, buy one label per package:
- Click Create shipping label, which is available from the order's Unfulfilled section.
- In Items, confirm the number of items that you want to include in this fulfillment.
- Buy the label. The rest stays in Unfulfilled, where the same button buys the next label.
A label bought in the Shopify admin adds its tracking number and carrier to that fulfillment automatically.
Each label becomes its own parcel for the buyer: what your customer sees for each parcel.
Can one Shopify label cover several boxes?
As of September 2026, none of the Shopify Help Center pages we read on labels, fulfillment, packing slips and the USPS, UPS and FedEx carriers allows one label or tracking number covering several boxes.
Add package, in the label's Package and weight section, creates a package to select for this shipment, not a second box on the label.
On desktop, Add tracking in an order's Fulfilled section accepts more than one tracking number from your shipping provider, but "all tracking numbers must be from the same carrier."
Shopify's Managed Markets fulfillment page sets its own rule: "Each shipment must have a unique shipping label and tracking number. Using a single shipping label for multiple packages strapped together is prohibited." It also says you can buy an "additional shipping label for each fulfillment," but "splitting a single product into multiple shipments isn't supported with Managed Markets."
What limits apply when you split or batch-print labels?
Sometimes the split isn't your choice. When no location stocks every item, items can't ship together, or an order mixes shipping and pickup, "fulfilling part of the order isn't optional," though you might be able to merge some fulfillments first.
The Shopify mobile app buys labels but can't split or merge a fulfillment; use a desktop device or the Shopify web version on mobile.
You can print up to 100 shipping labels at the same time, and void up to 250 at once. See what voiding does to a label's cost or how to reprint a label you already bought.
