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:

斯威夫特 4+

class EdgeInsetLabel: UILabel {
    var textInsets = UIEdgeInsets.zero {
        didSet { invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() }
    }

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect, limitedToNumberOfLines numberOfLines: Int) -> CGRect {
        let textRect = super.textRect(forBounds: bounds, limitedToNumberOfLines: numberOfLines)
        let invertedInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: -textInsets.top,
                                          left: -textInsets.left,
                                          bottom: -textInsets.bottom,
                                          right: -textInsets.right)
        return textRect.inset(by: invertedInsets)
    }

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

用法:

let label = EdgeInsetLabel()
label.textInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 2, left: 6, bottom: 2, right: 6)

如果你想使用UILabel

class UILabel : UIKit.UILabel {
    var insets = UIEdgeInsets.zero {
        didSet { invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() }
    }

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect, limitedToNumberOfLines numberOfLines: Int) -> CGRect {
        let textRect = super.textRect(forBounds: bounds, limitedToNumberOfLines: numberOfLines)
        let invertedInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: -insets.top,
                                          left: -insets.left,
                                          bottom: -insets.bottom,
                                          right: -insets.right)
        return textRect.inset(by: invertedInsets)
    }

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

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

就像其他答案一样，但它修复了一个bug:

当标签。宽度由自动布局控制，有时文本会被裁剪。

@IBDesignable
class InsetLabel: UILabel {

    @IBInspectable var topInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    @IBInspectable var leftInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    @IBInspectable var bottomInset: CGFloat = 4.0
    @IBInspectable var rightInset: CGFloat = 4.0

    var insets: UIEdgeInsets {
        get {
            return UIEdgeInsets.init(top: topInset, left: leftInset, bottom: bottomInset, right: rightInset)
        }
        set {
            topInset = newValue.top
            leftInset = newValue.left
            bottomInset = newValue.bottom
            rightInset = newValue.right
        }
    }

    override func sizeThatFits(_ size: CGSize) -> CGSize {
        var adjSize = super.sizeThatFits(size)
        adjSize.width += leftInset + rightInset
        adjSize.height += topInset + bottomInset
        return adjSize
    }

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        let systemContentSize = super.intrinsicContentSize
        let adjustSize = CGSize(width: systemContentSize.width + leftInset + rightInset, height: systemContentSize.height + topInset +     bottomInset)
        if adjustSize.width > preferredMaxLayoutWidth && preferredMaxLayoutWidth != 0 {
            let constraintSize = CGSize(width: bounds.width - (leftInset + rightInset), height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
            let newSize = super.sizeThatFits(constraintSize)
            return CGSize(width: systemContentSize.width, height: ceil(newSize.height) + topInset + bottomInset)
        } else {
            return adjustSize
        }
    }

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