我在公认的答案中略加修改。有一个问题，当左tinset和右tinset增加时，一部分文字会消失，b/c标签的宽度会变窄，但高度没有增加，如图所示:

要解决这个问题，你需要重新计算文本的高度，如下所示:

@IBDesignable class PaddingLabel: UILabel {

  @IBInspectable var topInset: CGFloat = 20.0
  @IBInspectable var bottomInset: CGFloat = 20.0
  @IBInspectable var leftInset: CGFloat = 20.0
  @IBInspectable var rightInset: CGFloat = 20.0

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

  override func intrinsicContentSize() -> CGSize {
    var intrinsicSuperViewContentSize = super.intrinsicContentSize()

    let textWidth = frame.size.width - (self.leftInset + self.rightInset)
    let newSize = self.text!.boundingRectWithSize(CGSizeMake(textWidth, CGFloat.max), options: NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: self.font], context: nil)
    intrinsicSuperViewContentSize.height = ceil(newSize.size.height) + self.topInset + self.bottomInset

    return intrinsicSuperViewContentSize
  }
}

和结果:

我希望能帮助一些和我处境相同的人。

我已经尝试了Swift 4.2，希望它对你有用!

@IBDesignable class PaddingLabel: UILabel {

    @IBInspectable var topInset: CGFloat = 5.0
    @IBInspectable var bottomInset: CGFloat = 5.0
    @IBInspectable var leftInset: CGFloat = 7.0
    @IBInspectable var rightInset: CGFloat = 7.0

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

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        let size = super.intrinsicContentSize
        return CGSize(width: size.width + leftInset + rightInset,
                      height: size.height + topInset + bottomInset)
    }   

    override var bounds: CGRect {
        didSet {
            // ensures this works within stack views if multi-line
            preferredMaxLayoutWidth = bounds.width - (leftInset + rightInset)
        }
    } 
}

吊舱' paddle标签'，'1.2'

类似于其他答案，但使用func类来动态地设置填充:

class UILabelExtendedView: UILabel
{
    var topInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    var bottomInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    var leftInset: CGFloat = 8.0
    var rightInset: CGFloat = 8.0

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

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

    func setPadding(top: CGFloat, left: CGFloat, bottom: CGFloat, right: CGFloat){
        self.topInset = top
        self.bottomInset = bottom
        self.leftInset = left
        self.rightInset = right
        let insets: UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: top, left: left, bottom: bottom, right: right)
        super.drawText(in: UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(self.frame, insets))
    }
}

只需使用一个UIView作为一个superview，并定义一个固定的边距标签与自动布局。

严格适用于单行标签:(2021语法)

对于任何谷歌这里谁需要在严格单行标签填充(如节标题或其他列表项)，

语法发生了很大变化。当心互联网上的过时信息。

下面是要复制和粘贴的确切类:

// add 100 above, 50 padding below a SINGLE-LINE label
import UIKit
class SingleLineLabelWithSpacing: UILabel {
    // STRICTLY for SINGLE LINE labels
    // only works with SINGLE LINE labels

    override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
        let insets: UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(
               top: 100, left: 0, bottom: 50, right: 0)
        super.drawText(in: rect.inset(by: insets))
    }

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        var ic = super.intrinsicContentSize
        ic.height = ic.height + 150
        return ic
    }
}

在这个例子中，填充大于或小于100/50。

当您有任何类型的滚动列表、提要或其他列表时，这是通常要做的事情。

这样你就不必考虑标题上方/下方的空格，用户名等等——你只需要把它放到堆栈视图或其他任何情况下。

当然，当设计师想要调整时，你也可以在任何地方同时更改这两个值。

提醒:如果你想真正填充一个UILabel，让它无论文本行数、动态大小单元格、动画等等都能完美工作，这是非常复杂的。唯一正确的答案是:https://stackoverflow.com/a/58876988/294884

简单填充(Swift 3.0, Alvin George回答):

  class NewLabel: UILabel {

        override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect, limitedToNumberOfLines numberOfLines: Int) -> CGRect {
                return self.bounds.insetBy(dx: CGFloat(15.0), dy: CGFloat(15.0))
        }

        override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
                super.drawText(in: self.bounds.insetBy(dx: CGFloat(5.0), dy: CGFloat(5.0)))
        }

  }
