Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. I think "12-vial polystyrene packs" because carton is similar to box. Do you think?

Asker: So it would be the second suggestion in my list? i.e. four polystyrene packs within one box ?

The term "carton" from the source text is a "cardboard box" in English.
If it's "corrugated", it's even "corrugated cardboard box"
