All and sämtlich exclude exceptions within a named group. All is the normal choice in everyday language, while sämtlich sounds more formal and emphasizes more strongly that not a single member of the group is missing. For this reason, sämtlich is particularly suitable for official announcements or instructions.
Laut der amtlichen Mitteilung sind sämtliche Unterlagen zum Termin mitzubringen.
According to the official announcement, all documents must be brought to the appointment.
Bitte bringen Sie alle Unterlagen zum Termin mit.
