I've got various views in my iPhone application that require padding e.g a custom UIButton with text aligned left, and a UILabel with a background color.

This may be a really stupid question, but how can I apply 'padding' to move the text off the left hand edge?

I've tired using bounds etc without any success.

I know I could create a wrapper view for my UILabel with a background color, but it seems like overkill.

Many thanks.
