The word is used mostly to count multipacks of milk and dairy products (individual, usually small, cartons or bottles) wrapped in transparent plastic, but can be used for such packs of anything (e.g. seaweed). It also counts sets of page-a-day calendars. Một lốc sữa is a multipack of four cartons of milk, and một lốc lịch is a set of page-a-day calendars.
