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:

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。

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)
    }
}

如果你想在textRect周围添加2px的填充，只需要这样做:

let insets = UIEdgeInsets(top: -2, left: -2, bottom: -2, right: -2)
label.frame = UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(textRect, 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))
    }
}

子类UILabel。(File-New-File- CocoaTouchClass-make UILabel的子类)。

//  sampleLabel.swift

import UIKit

class sampleLabel: UILabel {

 let topInset = CGFloat(5.0), bottomInset = CGFloat(5.0), leftInset = CGFloat(8.0), rightInset = CGFloat(8.0)

 override func drawTextInRect(rect: CGRect) {

  let insets: UIEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: topInset, left: leftInset, bottom: bottomInset, right: rightInset)
  super.drawTextInRect(UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets))

 }
 override func intrinsicContentSize() -> CGSize {
  var intrinsicSuperViewContentSize = super.intrinsicContentSize()
  intrinsicSuperViewContentSize.height += topInset + bottomInset
  intrinsicSuperViewContentSize.width += leftInset + rightInset
  return intrinsicSuperViewContentSize
 }
}

ViewController:

override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()

  let labelName = sampleLabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 100, 300, 25))
  labelName.text = "Sample Label"
  labelName.backgroundColor =  UIColor.grayColor()

  labelName.textColor = UIColor.redColor()
  labelName.shadowColor = UIColor.blackColor()
  labelName.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: CGFloat(22))
  self.view.addSubview(labelName)
 }

或者将Storyboard上的自定义UILabel类关联为Label的类。
