About ぐるみで
When following nouns, the suffix ぐるみ 'including (A)', 'all over (A)', or '(A) wide' is used to express that something encompasses absolutely all of (A). ぐるみ stem from the う-Verb 包む, meaning 'to wrap', or 'to encompass'. In many cases, the case marking particle で will follow ぐるみ to mark 'with', but の may also be seen when preceding a second noun.
ぐるみ is most frequently seen following words that specify a whole 'group' or 'span' to which the topic of the sentence is only one part of. This could be one member of a family, one home within a neighborhood, one student within a school, or any other number of things that share a clearly identifiable link.
Despite this, the primary nuance will always be that the group itself shares a common trait, rather than focusing on any individual part.
