Can you staple papers?

Do staples conduct electricity?

There is no problem to use staples (or other metal things like nails), but there is always a risk you will destroy insulation of the conductor, which may eventually lead to a short-circuit. A staple (or a nail, a screw etc.) uses force to keep the wire stick and this force can deform the insulation.
