一个实用的解决方案是添加与主标签高度和颜色相同的空白标签。将主标签的前导/尾距设置为零，对齐垂直中心，并设置所需的宽度。

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.
    }

}

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。

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))
    }
}

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))
    }
}

只需要使用UIButton，它已经内置了。关闭所有额外的按钮功能，你有一个标签，你可以设置边缘instets。

let button = UIButton()
button.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 5, left: 5, bottom: 5, right: 5)
button.setTitle("title", for: .normal)
button.tintColor = .white // this will be the textColor
button.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
