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.
Despite this, the primary nuance will always be that the group itself shares a common trait, rather than focusing on any individual part.
-

- 会社ぐるみで違法な取引をしていたので、社員全員逮捕された。All the employees were arrested because the entire company was doing illegal business.
- 彼とは家族ぐるみの付き合いです。Our family is friends with him and his whole family. (He is a family friend)
- 街ぐるみの治安をよくするために、町内会の人たちが毎晩パトロールをしています。In order to improve the security of the entire town, people from the neighborhood association patrol the area every night.
Despite this, the primary nuance will always be that the group itself shares a common trait, rather than focusing on any individual part.
