We say that a graph G has a perfect H-packing (also called an H-factor) if there exists a set of disjoint copies of H in G which together cover all the vertices of G. Given a graph H, we determine, asymptotically, the Ore-type degree condition which ensures that a graph G has a perfect H-packing. More precisely, let ��_{\rm Ore} (H,n) be the smallest number k such that every graph G whose order n is divisible by |H| and with d(x)+d(y)\geq k for all non-adjacent x \not = y \in V(G) contains a perfect H-packing. We determine \lim_{n\to \infty} ��_{\rm Ore} (H,n)/n.
