编辑:这个真的很老了。上面有更好的解决方案。

我最终只是在文本中添加了一些空格:

self.titleLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"    %@", self.titleLabel.text];

丑陋但有效，不需要子类化。

你也可以试试“\t”。对于一般的解决方案，请参考已接受的答案

回收钢铁的答案的Swift版本+ intrinsizeContentSize()。

它支持一个更传统的设置insets为其他视图对象的insets，同时能够设置insets在接口生成器，即insets设置像这样编程:

label.insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 5, 0)

如果有任何错误，请告诉我。

不要编码，Xcode !

比起使用UILabel来解决这个问题，我建议你去看看UIButton。它提供了开箱即用的功能，可以在大小检查器中设置内容插入(上、左、下、右)。设置所需的边距，然后在Xcode中禁用按钮，完成。

可以使用https://github.com/mattt/TTTAttributedLabel代替UILabel

BITAttributedLabel *label = [BITAttributedLabel new];
label.font = font;
label.text = @"hello";
label.textInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10);
[label sizeToFit];

如果是单行，只需在左侧添加空格，超过一行的填充将再次为0。

[self.myLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"   %@", self.myShortString]];

这适用于多行标签:

class PaddedLabel: UILabel {
    var verticalPadding: CGFloat = 0
    var horizontalPadding: CGFloat = 0

    override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
        let insets = UIEdgeInsets(top: verticalPadding, left: horizontalPadding, bottom: verticalPadding, right: horizontalPadding)
        super.drawText(in: UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets))
    }

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        get {
            let textWidth = super.intrinsicContentSize.width - horizontalPadding * 2
            let textHeight = sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: textWidth, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)).height
            let width = textWidth + horizontalPadding * 2
            let height = textHeight + verticalPadding * 2
            return CGSize(width: frame.width, height: height)
        }
    }
}
