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];

Xcode 6.1.1 Swift扩展解决方案。

文件名可以是"UILabel+AddInsetMargin.swift":

import UIKit

extension UILabel
{
    public override func drawRect(rect: CGRect)
    {
        self.drawTextInRect(UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5)))
    }
}

这是我发现的最简单的方法。这对我来说很有魔力。

UIView *titleSection = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, screenWidth, 100)];
[titleSection addSubview:titleSection];

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectInset(titleSection.frame, PADDING, 0)];
[titleSection addSubview:label];

如果你在ios6 +中使用自动布局，你可以通过在UILabel的子类中调整intrinsicContentSize来实现。

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        self.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
    }
    return self;
}

- (CGSize)intrinsicContentSize 
{
    CGSize size = [super intrinsicContentSize];
    return CGSizeMake(size.width + 10.0, size.height);
}

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)
        }
    }
}

很多答案都缺少对sizeThatFits的重写。有了这个子类，你可以创建标签，设置填充，然后输入label。sizetofit()，瞧。

import UIKit

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

    override func drawTextInRect(rect: CGRect) {

        super.drawTextInRect(UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, padding))
    }

    override func sizeThatFits(size: CGSize) -> CGSize
    {

        var adjSize = super.sizeThatFits(size)
        adjSize.width += padding.left + padding.right
        adjSize.height += padding.top + padding.bottom

        return adjSize
    }
}
