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))
    }
}

Swift 3、iOS10解决方案:

open class UIInsetLabel: UILabel {

    open var insets : UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets() {
        didSet {
            super.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
        }
    }

    open override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        var size = super.intrinsicContentSize
        size.width += insets.left + insets.right
        size.height += insets.top + insets.bottom
        return size
    }

    override open func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
        return super.drawText(in: UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, 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))
  }

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

Swift 3代码及其实现示例

class UIMarginLabel: UILabel {

    var topInset:       CGFloat = 0
    var rightInset:     CGFloat = 0
    var bottomInset:    CGFloat = 0
    var leftInset:      CGFloat = 0

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

class LabelVC: UIViewController {

    //Outlets
    @IBOutlet weak var labelWithMargin: UIMarginLabel!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        //Label settings.
        labelWithMargin.leftInset = 10
        view.layoutIfNeeded()
    }
}

不要忘记在故事板标签对象中添加类名UIMarginLabel。 编码快乐!

在Swift 3中

最好最简单的方法

class UILabelPadded: UILabel {
     override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
     let insets = UIEdgeInsets.init(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5)
     super.drawText(in: UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets))
    }

}
