Paper Staples
The term "stapling" is used for both fastening with straight or bent legs; however, when differentiating between the two, the term "tacking" is used for straight-leg stapling, while the term "stapling" is used for bent-leg stapling when being contrasted with "tacking".
The legs of a staple can be allowed to protrude out the back side and folded over to provide greater binding than the friction of straight legs.
