How it's used

Unlike the more formal Mandarin usage, it feels natural in spoken Cantonese when emphasizing that a group contains many distinct types.
Examples
There are all kinds of snacks for sale in the supermarket.
Which kind of gift do you like?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 樣樣, which means 'every single one' or 'everything'. While 各樣 refers to the variety of types, 樣樣 emphasizes the individual items or tasks themselves.
