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。

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)))
        }

  }

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。

详细阐述Mundi的回答。

例如，在UIView中嵌入一个标签，并通过自动布局强制填充。例子:

概述:

创建一个UIView(面板)，并设置它的外观。 创建一个UILabel并将其添加到面板中。 添加约束以强制填充。 将面板添加到视图层次结构中，然后定位面板。

细节:

创建面板视图。 let panel = UIView() 面板。backgroundColor = .green panel.layer.cornerRadius = 12 创建标签，将其作为子视图添加到面板。 let label = UILabel() panel.addSubview(标签) 在标签的边缘和面板之间添加约束。这迫使面板与标签保持一定距离。也就是说,“填充”。

编辑:手工完成所有这些是超级乏味、冗长和容易出错的。我建议你从GitHub中选择一个自动布局包装器或自己写一个

label.panel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: panel.topAnchor,
    constant: vPadding).isActive = true
label.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: panel.bottomAnchor,
    constant: -vPadding).isActive = true
label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: panel.leadingAnchor,
    constant: hPadding).isActive = true
label.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: panel.trailingAnchor,
    constant: -hPadding).isActive = true

label.textAlignment = .center

将面板添加到视图层次结构中，然后添加定位约束。例如，拥抱tableViewCell的右侧，如示例图像中所示。

注意:您只需要添加位置约束，而不是尺寸约束:Auto Layout将基于标签的intrinsicContentSize和前面添加的约束来解决布局问题。

hostView.addSubview(panel)
panel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
panel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: hostView.trailingAnchor,
    constant: -16).isActive = true
panel.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: hostView.centerYAnchor).isActive = true

没有故事板:

class PaddingLabel: UILabel {

    var topInset: CGFloat
    var bottomInset: CGFloat
    var leftInset: CGFloat
    var rightInset: CGFloat

    required init(withInsets top: CGFloat, _ bottom: CGFloat,_ left: CGFloat,_ right: CGFloat) {
        self.topInset = top
        self.bottomInset = bottom
        self.leftInset = left
        self.rightInset = right
        super.init(frame: CGRect.zero)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    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
        }
    }
}

用法:

let label = PaddingLabel(8, 8, 16, 16)
label.font = .boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
label.text = "Hello World"
label.backgroundColor = .black
label.textColor = .white
label.textAlignment = .center
label.layer.cornerRadius = 8
label.clipsToBounds = true
label.sizeToFit()

view.addSubview(label)

结果:

class EdgeInsetLabel: UILabel {
    var textInsets = UIEdgeInsets.zero {
        didSet { invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() }
    }

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect, limitedToNumberOfLines numberOfLines: Int) -> CGRect {
        let textRect = super.textRect(forBounds: bounds, limitedToNumberOfLines: numberOfLines)
        let invertedInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: -textInsets.top,
                                          left: -textInsets.left,
                                          bottom: -textInsets.bottom,
                                          right: -textInsets.right)
        return textRect.inset(by: invertedInsets)
    }

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

用法:

let label = EdgeInsetLabel()
label.textInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 2, left: 6, bottom: 2, right: 6)
