A zeppelin was a lighter-than-air craft like a blimp or balloon, yet it had a rigid airframe like a heavier-than-air craft. If you punctured a hole in a nonrigid blimp or balloon, or a semi rigid dirigible, it would deflate and lose its shape, whereas the rigid airframe of a zeppelin would hold its shape.
