Gaara uses an enormous quantity of sand to completely envelop the target from every direction and capture them. The speed, hardness, and scope of the sand depend on the amount of chakra poured into it. This allows Gaara to fine-tune the sand's properties to the size and characteristics of the target.

No matter if the target is on the ground or flying in the air, it is almost impossible to escape from this technique. However, even if someone successfully escapes from it, Gaara can easily use one of his offensive techniques, like the Sand Binding Coffin, to immediately attack the target.

[edit] Trivia

Using a pun common to Gaara and his jutsu, "sand binding" (砂縛, sabaku) is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for "desert" (砂漠).
