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)))
        }

  }

我的解决方案与人们回答的类似，但添加了sizeThatFits来帮助UIKit找出正确的大小。

class InsetLabel : UILabel {
    @objc var textInsets: UIEdgeInsets = .zero

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

    override func sizeThatFits(_ size: CGSize) -> CGSize {
        var s = super.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: size.width - (textInsets.left + textInsets.right), height: size.height - (textInsets.top + textInsets.bottom)))
        s.height += textInsets.top + textInsets.bottom
        return s
    }
}

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:

如果你不想或需要在Storyboard中使用@IBInspectable / @IBDesignable UILabel(我认为那些渲染太慢了)，那么使用UIEdgeInsets而不是4个不同的cgfloat会更干净。

Swift 4.2的代码示例:

class UIPaddedLabel: UILabel {
    var padding = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)

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

    public override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        let size = super.intrinsicContentSize
        return CGSize(width: size.width + padding.left + padding.right,
                      height: size.height + padding.top + padding.bottom)
    }
}

使用UILabel扩展的Swift 5示例

使用下面的代码，设置你的边距就像label. setmargin(15)一样简单。

extension UILabel {
    func setMargins(_ margin: CGFloat = 10) {
        if let textString = self.text {
            let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
            paragraphStyle.firstLineHeadIndent = margin
            paragraphStyle.headIndent = margin
            paragraphStyle.tailIndent = -margin
            let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: textString)
            attributedString.addAttribute(.paragraphStyle, value: paragraphStyle, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: attributedString.length))
            attributedText = attributedString
        }
    }
}
