Cracking and ink coming off from the UV varnish surface

[ANANDHAN]

Hi

Coated paper board are printed first then primer coat of 3 gsm and UV cured then kept it for 3 hours for air dry and then it goes creasing at the dye cutter.

White cracks are observed on creasing fold of the carton.

What may be the reason and how to avoid it?
