stapling
Attaching sheets together
Stapling is the act of fastening papers or materials together with a stapler—a device that drives thin metal fasteners through sheets and bends the ends flat.
Beyond office work, stapling appears in medicine (surgical stapling closes wounds) and construction (staple guns attach materials to surfaces).
