You can install and use aptoncd.
This program will help you to setup a CD/DVD as a mobile repository (APT on
CD) to install and perform updates for computers without access to internet.
Aptoncd will take all the packages that have been docnloaded to
/var/cache/apt/archives/. You can also add your own packages from other
locations.

You may also setup a local Ubuntu mirror on an USB drive (you'll need around
30 GB)

Please note that some non free packages, like Adobe flash player, still
needs to be downloaded from the internet.

Hope that helps.
Regards
