The Zembag for bread is designed for storing sourdough or regular rye-wheat bread. It has an inner functional layer consisting of a membrane developed by the Technical University of Liberec. When used daily, this membrane regulates the humidity inside the Zembag, extending the shelf life of the stored bread. This is also aided by the outer layer, which is made of cotton.

The width of the Zembag for bread is 33 cm, and the depth of the pouch is 45 cm. The length of the overlap of the pouch is 25 cm.
