By placing a sealing tag on an opponent or object, a substantial seal is generated that prevents the article in question from being summoned, as long as the originating tag remains intact.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Maki, as well as the other shinobi tasked with sealing the revived shinobi via the Cloth Binding Technique, used these tags in an effort to ensure that they could not simply be recalled and then simply re-summoned to the battlefield. The tag can also be applied to other mediums as seen when Gaara used this seal in conjunction with his Sand Binding Coffin to seal his father. They can also be linked together to make the tag's effect stronger, as well as thrown from a great distance via kunai, similar to exploding tags.[1]
