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))
    }
}

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。

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!

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)
    }
}

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。
