In general, you should leave the packing to the movers. They will wrap all furniture in furniture blankets for protection and most will use shrink wrap to give dirt/soil protection. Here are a few tips for packing the office.

Pens, pencils, paperclips, etc. should be placed in an envelope, sealed and replaced in your desk drawer.
All personal valuables must be removed prior to the move.
Pack contents in containers supplied by the mover.
