如果你不想或需要在Storyboard中使用@IBInspectable / @IBDesignable UILabel(我认为那些渲染太慢了)，那么使用UIEdgeInsets而不是4个不同的cgfloat会更干净。

Swift 4.2的代码示例:

class UIPaddedLabel: UILabel {
    var padding = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)

    public override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
        super.drawText(in: rect.inset(by: padding))
    }

    public override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        let size = super.intrinsicContentSize
        return CGSize(width: size.width + padding.left + padding.right,
                      height: size.height + padding.top + padding.bottom)
    }
}

import UIKit

class PaddingLabel: UILabel {

   @IBInspectable var topInset: CGFloat = 5.0
   @IBInspectable var bottomInset: CGFloat = 5.0
   @IBInspectable var leftInset: CGFloat = 5.0
   @IBInspectable var rightInset: CGFloat = 5.0

   override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
      let insets = UIEdgeInsets(top: topInset, left: leftInset, bottom: bottomInset, right: rightInset)
      super.drawText(in: UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets))
   }

   override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
      get {
         var contentSize = super.intrinsicContentSize
         contentSize.height += topInset + bottomInset
         contentSize.width += leftInset + rightInset
         return contentSize
      }
   }
}

简单的方法

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

        self.view.addSubview(makeLabel("my title",x: 0, y: 100, w: 320, h: 30))
    }

    func makeLabel(title:String, x:CGFloat, y:CGFloat, w:CGFloat, h:CGFloat)->UILabel{
        var myLabel : UILabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(x,y,w,h))
        myLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Right

        // inser last char to right
        var titlePlus1char = "\(title)1"
        myLabel.text = titlePlus1char
        var titleSize:Int = count(titlePlus1char)-1

        myLabel.textColor = UIColor(red:1.0, green:1.0,blue:1.0,alpha:1.0)
        myLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 214/255, green: 167/255, blue: 0/255,alpha:1.0)


        // create myMutable String
        var myMutableString = NSMutableAttributedString()

        // create myMutable font
        myMutableString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: titlePlus1char, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 20)!])

        // set margin size
        myMutableString.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 10)!, range: NSRange(location: titleSize,length: 1))

        // set last char to alpha 0
        myMutableString.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor(red:1.0, green:1.0,blue:1.0,alpha:0), range: NSRange(location: titleSize,length: 1))

        myLabel.attributedText = myMutableString

        return myLabel
    }


    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

}

如果在应用填充时遇到文本修剪问题，请使用此代码。

@IBDesignable class PaddingLabel: UILabel {

    @IBInspectable var topInset: CGFloat = 5.0
    @IBInspectable var bottomInset: CGFloat = 5.0
    @IBInspectable var leftInset: CGFloat = 5.0
    @IBInspectable var rightInset: CGFloat = 5.0

    override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
        let insets = UIEdgeInsets.init(top: topInset, left: leftInset, bottom: bottomInset, right: rightInset)
        super.drawText(in: UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets))
    }

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        var intrinsicSuperViewContentSize = super.intrinsicContentSize
        let textWidth = frame.size.width - (self.leftInset + self.rightInset)
        let newSize = self.text!.boundingRect(with: CGSize(textWidth, CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude), options: NSStringDrawingOptions.usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: self.font], context: nil)
        intrinsicSuperViewContentSize.height = ceil(newSize.size.height) + self.topInset + self.bottomInset
        return intrinsicSuperViewContentSize
    }
}

extension CGSize{
    init(_ width:CGFloat,_ height:CGFloat) {
        self.init(width:width,height:height)
    }
}

就像其他答案一样，但它修复了一个bug:

当标签。宽度由自动布局控制，有时文本会被裁剪。

@IBDesignable
class InsetLabel: UILabel {

    @IBInspectable var topInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    @IBInspectable var leftInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    @IBInspectable var bottomInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    @IBInspectable var rightInset: CGFloat = 4.0

    var insets: UIEdgeInsets {
        get {
            return UIEdgeInsets.init(top: topInset, left: leftInset, bottom: bottomInset, right: rightInset)
        }
        set {
            topInset = newValue.top
            leftInset = newValue.left
            bottomInset = newValue.bottom
            rightInset = newValue.right
        }
    }

    override func sizeThatFits(_ size: CGSize) -> CGSize {
        var adjSize = super.sizeThatFits(size)
        adjSize.width += leftInset + rightInset
        adjSize.height += topInset + bottomInset
        return adjSize
    }

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        let systemContentSize = super.intrinsicContentSize
        let adjustSize = CGSize(width: systemContentSize.width + leftInset + rightInset, height: systemContentSize.height + topInset +     bottomInset)
        if adjustSize.width > preferredMaxLayoutWidth && preferredMaxLayoutWidth != 0 {
            let constraintSize = CGSize(width: bounds.width - (leftInset + rightInset), height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
            let newSize = super.sizeThatFits(constraintSize)
            return CGSize(width: systemContentSize.width, height: ceil(newSize.height) + topInset + bottomInset)
        } else {
            return adjustSize
        }
    }

    override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
        super.drawText(in: rect.inset(by: insets))
    }
}

在layoutSubviews()方法上，更改UILabel的插入，如下所示。

  override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()

    label.frame = label.frame.inset(by: UIEdgeInsets(top: 5, left: 10, bottom: 5, right: 10))
  }
