Stapled describes something fastened with a staple—a small U-shaped metal fastener driven through paper or other material: She handed me the stapled report.
Documents are stapled together; posters are stapled to telephone poles.
The word can also describe something secured with heavy-duty staples: stapled carpet padding, a stapled surgical incision.
