Brigitta,

I use large plastic bags tied with a twist tie.  Most of my breads 
are not in pans.  I place the shaped loaves on a couche on an 
overturned half sheet pan.  I place this into a large plastic bag, 
trap air in it as best I can, then tie the neck of the bag with a 
twist tie.  If the dough is sticky, I will put some flour on the top 
of it.  I seldom have trouble with the bag sticking.  That way the 
shaped dough stays moist.  If using pans, I will do the same thing 
with smaller bags or I will put a few pans on the half sheet pan and 
put that into a large plastic bag.

Hope this helps,
Dave Glaze
